This might be one of the top 5 lineups in baseball. And that's not even homer talk. We are literally loaded with offensive talent.
Scary loaded.
Too bad that's not what wins championships.

That's really the only reason I've tolerated the Myers trade. It sucks, but if this team does not find pitching the next 6 years are a complete waste of time. And I really would probably rather have Shields than anyone available on the FA market. I'm a big fan of Shields. But we gave up a ton to get him.
But it's weird how it works. Smart football fans realize that QB's win titles and go crazy over it. However, smart baseball fans still seem to be enamored with offense and act as if pitching and defense are replaceable assets... even though teams with killer starting pitching and a couple great relievers usually fare better than teams with great offenses and average starters.
