If they're serious about being good this year, they NEED to add at least two competent starters.
Abbott and Green are the only competent starters they have right now. Lively started good, but he's had a 6.17 ERA over his last 4 starts and now he's on the IL. Ashcraft has allowed 47 runs over his last 8 starts/33 innings and needs to be sent to AAA to work on whatever the heck is going on with him. Weaver needed to be DFA'd awhile ago as he's on his 2nd straight year of ERA >6.50 and 3rd in the last 4 years. Their starters are currently 28th in ERA, and 0.93 worse than 26th, so a pretty huge gap.
Winning is fun, and paying a couple prospects now to keep winning is the move to make with all the young exciting talent on offense. Games won now count just as much as games won in September.
