And none of those guys (except Liriano) has what you would call great stuff (compared with Floyd), maybe Baker is the closest, but he doesn't dominate with his fastball.

 

That's because their organization has what ours doesn't. That is, people who can develop young talent in the minors, pitchers who throw first pitch strikes, have developed secondary stuff, and keep the ball down, and good defense which covers ground to help.

Broadway sucks also. If Contreras isn't going to be ready, shame on KW for not acquiring another starter.

Acquire another starter by trading Floyd/Danks or Buehrle and Fields?

 

That really wouldn't make much of any sense from a long-term payroll flexibility standpoint, and we'd still have a huge hole in our rotation, bullpen, speed and defense. And I think Josh Fields is quickly losing some of the glow....I wish we could have traded Thornton a month or so ago and Josh Fields in the off-season for more pitching depth, even though we won't keep Crede IMO.
