I agree with DJ they may shell out for Cole. That makes perfect sense.
I disagree that teams nec fill in holes anymore, instead of making a strength a dominance. Take the Cubs: built entirely from less-risk high profile hitters, opting to build pitching with cast offs that were undervalued. Theo lost his way, panicked to get Quintana (understandable), and got totally destroyed by Darvish.
Imagine if he spent the Darvish $$$ on JD Martinez.
HOU has had success with cast offs like Morton. They will look at Theo as a warning against entereing FA market for the top arm.
