holt_bruce81 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Sounds like a decent signing but who knows. He shouldn't cost a ton and I'm all for more competition on that starting staff. Edited December 17, 2019 by holt_bruce81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a BOR and potential swing guy. They're so valuable in today's game, as rotation injuries are inevitable... He's also posted the best two years of his career in 2018 and 2019, so he's gotten better with age and coming off his TJS in 2017... Solid low risk signing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Still think we need another starter and not someone that’s just an innings eater. Someone actually worth a damn. Not landing Bumgarner was a joke with that contract. Ryu is probably the next best thing right? His injury history concerns me though. Also still need to replace Ozuna if he’s not coming back. Castellanos? Edited December 17, 2019 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) They’re really having a press conference for a RP... ok then Edited December 17, 2019 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I don't really see the need for getting a frontline starter. The contracts are long and the FA's are old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably start Spring competing for a spot in the rotation. Edited December 17, 2019 by holt_bruce81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I kind of wonder if we're not building for a BP start type of situation for our #5 spot. Jack, Dak, Mikolas, best of the bunch, and then #5 could be Kim, and the losers of the #4 spot all making 2-3 inning appearances. Or even have a BP with no real defined roles and throw the starters and relievers in any order by matchup. Maybe too radical, but it might happen.

I just like the competition the front office is trying to create. And I like the fact that they're dipping in to the international market. Maybe this signing and improvement by some of our prospects like Genesis and/or Helsley could give the front office the flexibility to help the roster in other areas. And the Cardinals know they're going to have to pony up to keep Flaherty in a Redbird jersey, the days of players taking less to play in St. Louis are long gone. Jack is going to break the bank, and not having to commit 4-5 years into a pitcher is going to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
