No, because they're too fragile. Hunter Greene pitching 150.1 innings was the first time a Red had reached 150 innings in 3 years. He might be the only guy you could count on to be a playoff starter and that's scary because he's had a pretty extensive injury history.
Abbott threw about 103 innings (3.06 ERA) before he fell apart over his final 35 innings (5.66 ERA). That's very similar to 2023 where Abbott was great through his first 62 innings (1.90 ERA) before falling apart over his final 48-ish innings (6.42 ERA).
Lodolo was on the IL something like 3-4 times. He had a 2.76 ERA over his first 65 innings and then a 7.38 ERA over his final 50 innings before being done.
Nick Martinez (if they retain him) had a 3.84 ERA as a starter (89 innings) and a 1.86 ERA as a relief pitcher (53 innings).

Lowder seems promising, but way too small of a sample to be sure of anything yet.
They need to add 1 legit #2 type starter and 1 reliable inning eater.
