You definitely make some great points although I guess I'd much rather just have a younger pitcher with less wear and tear than an older one but the safe option is to keep Cole rather than risk losing him and we all know that Cashman never takes any good risks. Although I feel like if we don't resign Soto we might as let everyone go including Cole but I know they'll never do that as our FO office is far too content to stay on on front side of the treadmill rather than start from scratch...plus we're not going to know Soto's future for months unfortunately.
I'm content knowing that this team is not serious about winning until cashman is gone.
to the bolded: that's what I'm saying.
Now, as far as starters, Gil might win ROY. That's a start. Schmidt is a good arm who needs to continue to build endurance. He's a Montgomery do-over. If we're serious about wanting young cheap arms, then Hampton needs to be protected at all costs. Can't say I love the other guys. I'd be stunned if Hess is anything more than mop up guy in the majors, so Cashman and the scouts aren't getting better there.
I like some of the arms we have as bullpen guys like Gomez, Beeter, Cade Smith. The bullpen isn't too far off as long as you like Weaver closing.
