SP1 or SP2.
I don't really consider any of Greene, Ashcraft, or Abbott to be an ace, personally.
Yes sir
If and it's a (big if with current ownership) they plan on making a run at the post season they have to.... HAVE TO get better at starting pitching.
Greene, Ashcrfaft, Lodolo, and Abbott could make up a solid 3,4 and 5 starters rotation? And maybe, just maybe there's a #2 among them? 10-12 game winner, close to 200 innings, 3.50 ERA. But I'm just not sure?
I don't feel unless somebody really takes a big leap forward we have a true ACE on staff. 15+ game winner, 3.00 ERA, 200+ innings. A guy who can regularly pitch 6+ innings, stop losing streaks etc.
We can't be "in the mix" come September with our starters only pitching like 110 innings all season. Our bullpen will be toast again.
