Shields, Lester, and keeping Lackey wouldn't have hurt this team, financially. Rounding them with young talent from the farm/trades would have been my approach.
Today Kelly posted the worst start from a starter thus far. This is beyond lucky. He has to go to the pen or something. He has to be the second head sacrificed, we do not need to wait until June to figure out, he is killing this team.
Our problem these days is bigger than just pitching. In terms of UZR and wRC this team is pathetic as well. Ben's job is in jeopardy if this keeps this way by the end of the season.
