Don't Trade Britton, Extend Him

[Mayor McCheese]

The Royals' starters were last in the AL in innings pitched last season. Volquez was the only real good starter, and he's no Greinke or Price..

So we are basing this "theory" off one team??

Mets, Houston, and STL were ranked 2/3/4 in starter IP's followed by 6. LAD, 7. PITT, 8. WAS.

Yes, we are taking it off of one team, because it worked, it's affordable, and it plays to our strength.

It also pretty much what they did in 2014.

They also traded for Cueto... not sure if the Orioles would ever make a move like that.

I just can't see how filling out the rotation with back-end starters is a good move... I am not saying to not stack your bullpen because teams are looking for that 1-2-3 punch. You just can't ignore your Starting Pitchers.
