Starting pitching has to get better. I don't feel good about anybody except Volquez.

Wow. I figured Ned would go out on top. But having a few more years in this window of winning would be hard to leave.

tk13 11-02-2015 06:59 PM
Yeah, we've got two years left in this window, and Andy wrote a follow up tweet that Yost wants to get to 1000 wins... plus he gets to manage the ASG next year.

Although, Tony LaRussa retired and still managed the ASG the next year.

Duffy was much better out of the BP than he was as a starter.

Duffy will start. You can't ever give up on the flamethrowing lefties

They'll put him back in the rotation, but I don't think you can rely on him for 200 IP. That's why signing a more stable/higher end SP like Leake makes sense to me.

If Duffy doesn't work in the rotation, that could be a big insurance factor.

You have to try him back there, though, because of how effective he was in 2014 and how valuable lefties who throw hard can be.

In.

Cueto pitched like one.

Really though, our starters pitched 31.1 IP, 19 H, 12 ER, 11 BB, 20 K.

The Mets starters: 30 IP, 30 H, 14 ER, 9 BB, 24 K.

Now that includes Young's relief appearance, which may be cheating, but he was part of the postseason rotation group. In general our guys went toe to toe with theirs. Pretty solid.

Doesnt TB pretty much only pitch starters twice through the lineup and thats it?

He's a mortal lock for the rotation.

What happens to Outfante? Obviously we are stuck with the 16M left, that's not my question - but rather: does he HAVE to start next year to justify what we are paying him? Colon is the prototypical Royal and he was ready to start this year anyway. Would hate to see him blocked.


Would like to see Dyson start in CF and Cain move to RF. Sure seemed like his range declined 2H this year and his bat has enough power to justify a corner OF spot. I'd take every dime avail and give it to Gordon or Zo to play LF.

I would be all about trying to move Infante for a bag of balls if you can get someone to eat 1/2 the contract for you, but not sure that's feasible. If it isn't, he's on the MLB roster and I'm not sure they're willing to bench him.

Dyson in CF with Cain playing right works great against righties... But I'd still like to see a RH bat to protect Dyson vs. lefties.

We gotta keep Gordo and Z-Man. Other than that - we need to find an everyday solution in RF (unless we just platoon Orlando and Dyson - which I'm fine with).

I feel like we should probably rework Salvy's deal to give him a little more $$$.

Other than that - maybe take a shot at signing Hoz and Moose long term?
