How did that happen? As far as I knew, their draft didn’t focus on pitching. Were new pitchers brought up from AAA?
Where does their bullpen rank and do they have a lights out closer? They REALLY need that.
Anyway, I hope you’re right. If they show me they mean business and do whatever it takes to get top-notch pitching, I’ll sign up for my MLB audio and start following them again.
“How did that happen?”
They brought Chris Stratton up through the system and he’d been very effective. Surprise!
They already had Cueto, Smaridija...and Bum coming back in June.
The bullpen has been completely retooled with minor trades and Spring signings of walk-ons.
Yes, they need a closer. But Mark Melancon is due back by the end of June and Will Smith should be ready by the end of May.
6th best ERA in baseball right now, and will be getting much, much better before the break.
Not to mention a much better offense and defense.
