And Chris Sale looming...
His pitches already have velocity in the mid-90's, can't wait.
That said, man just noticed that one of our main pitching prospects got shutdown a month or so ago and had Tommy John, Thad Ward... joining Bryan Mata who also did so around April or so.
Then we have Noah Song in the Navy. So who's left Jay Groome? I was a bit excited about seeing our farm system having potential again, particularly with our pitchers, but lots of set backs sadly.
Anyways, that's not the topic... we're playing well now, but hope we peak at the right time later. I'm still very worried about our pitching (partly why I was looking at our pitching prospects a bit), so Chris Sale will help.
Just seems, from our starters, that Eovaldi is the only one giving us anything of worth and maybe Martin Pérez as an end of rotation pitcher. Garrett Richards has been terrible, Eduardo Rodríguez I still don't understand... he's at times brilliant other times just the worst pitcher out there. We need serious help if we want to win it all, so very worried about our rotation even with Sale coming back.
You guys anticipate any moves? Kinda think we should go after Kyle Gibson. He's pitching very well, but due to age and this season seeming as an outlier I wouldn't "pay" too much for him, but probably someone desperate enough would outbid. But it's an interesting name to look at.
Max Scherzer is pitching well, last year of his contract though and he's 36... take a risk?
