I mean, I want that 3rd big time arm and feel it’s really important but you can argue that the 3rd big time arm isn’t available and even if you buy into Luzardo or crochet as that guy, do you want to lose Mayo or Basallo to get him? Would the Giants trade Webb? That may be a guy you push hard for but I’m just not sure that the starter becomes available that justifies that type of trade. If I’m trading Kjerstad, getting a guy like Robert may be the preferred way of doing things. -

I mean I'm fine with them being selected and turning it down. I'd rather no pitchers go. -
I don't understand how we still question his legitimacy as a TOR. He may not be a bona fide ace yet, but he's a top 30 arm. -

Yikes, they really went with Suarez Povich Irvin? I guess that is due to the Bradish injury but they could have gone with Grayson on four days rest. Oh well, hope for the best. 2 of 3 would be a nice outcome. -

I definitely see your point with this. At this point, we should make the playoffs, barring major injuries and drop offs. So, how much does it matter who your 4th and 5th starters are in the playoffs? Even your 3rd starter may only pitch one game of a 7 game series, but your pen is going to be out there every single game. Go get the pen arms. -

There is an argument to be made that you bring in 2-3 new relievers and make the offense even better. Solve your weakness and improve upon your strength. And just go with what you have at starter. Playoffs are largely about scoring and your bullpen anymore. You hope for 5, maybe 6 good innings out of your starter. You need your starters to not lose you the game. forget the bigger name closer type guys. Go after the guys like Nardi and Walker. They won’t cost you any of your top guys. And make a play for Robert. An injury prone guy but a potential difference making talent when he’s healthy. Plus it gives us another righty and he can play CF at a high level. Maybe you just do something like that, get Mayo and Holliday up here and try to bludgeon teams. -
