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.
Maybe just invest in a couple of solid, long relievers?
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
