We know their in a good place with position players as most are young and controlled for a few years and they still have a few developing well in minors.
But
Help me out here...
Where is their depth in 2017 once we get pass
Lester Arrieta Hendricks Lackey Montgomery
If something happens to one of these guys in ST or April who next in line that ready and can be counted on for a couple starts if needed?
Also
I thought at the very least they would add a couple quality AA AAA type starters this off season via trades to have as depth but mostly to have ready for 2018 if/when they lose both Arrieta and Lackey and Montgomery still a question mark in rotation.
As of now, I don't know if there anyone in their system that we can say he the guy capable of replacing Arrieta or Lackey in rotation..
Do they have anyone that we can positively say would be better then just a capable 5th starter?
I guess looking ahead to where they can still add capable arms..
Hope they can land Tyson Ross
Get lucky with their 2 early picks in draft
Hope they can land a gem with their low allowable money in IFA
Trade deadline or next off season to get a stud arm via trade going to cost them their top positional players depth..
To add from FA next year most likely will cost big money that supposed to go towards their main young position players like Bryant Russell etc.
So, I don't know but my concern right now that can cost them to make a playoff push in 2017 and 2018 is pitching and lack of depth for rotation.
