While I like some of the pitchers brought in this offseason isn't the pitching staff for the most part already settled? We've watched the shuttle system for years, but with certain pitchers a must to be on the staff due to talent and the remaining arms being out of options. It almost seems to me there wont be much of a shuttle system this season. I guess we could assume that there will be a pitcher on the injured list most of the season which would allow them to use multiple replacements.
Here's how I see the staff:
- Burnes
- Woodruff
- Lauer
- Peralta
- MIley
- Wilson, Bryce
- Houser
- Ashby
- Williams
- Varland
- Bush
- Milner
- Guerra
- Paympas
And I think only 13 will be kept. That may even be a rule.
Still left off are Cousins, Junk, Peguero, and Strzelecki who should all have options.
Just seems to me that there isn't as much flexibility as in years past. Possiblly a couple of them could pass thru waivers and assigned to AAA. Just my thoughts.
