That's the thing with this team. We don't have an ace. There is no shutdown 30 mil pitcher right now. But, we are below salary cap, we can get one soon.
Eddie is and only has been a number 3. That was what his projection was, and that is at best what he is. Add to the fact that covid and missing a season and so on....... he was never an ace, no one should think he is an ace, and we would be lucky for him to pitch an ace year.
What's real lucky or smart is the rest of the pitching squad, we have had gems by a lot of these misfits. Way better than expected.
