I think we were fortunate for awhile with guys like Santana, Volquez, and Young but it seems lately we arent as lucky with guys like Medlen and Minor. Also Volquez and Youngs bubble appears to have burst.

2014 Duffy and Ventura had it looking like it was pointed the right direction. Sure has changed since, eh?
I'm not giving up on Volquez. Looks mechanical, and that's fixable.
The calculated gambles on Medlen and Minor haven't worked out. I still think each was a good bet. That's just the way it goes sometimes.
We will see how Medlen is when he returns. If he's truly healthy, I think he can help. My holding my breath, though. His control issues earlier in the year were those of someone with something serious about to blow.
