    'Could be' is encouraging.. but I wonder if 'should be' is what we should be asking. I wouldn't think this would happen, but it would be awful to push someone to come back quicker to cover a need. Having Strider healthy in Aug/Sep/Oct is way more important that April-Early May..

    If and it's a huge if, we have a healthy Strider and Acuna, we're right back in the mix for best team. If our team is healthy it's as good as any team in baseball. Acuna is an MVP candidate, Murphy is a top tier catcher, Olsen a top tier 1B, Albies one of the better 2B, Riley top tier 3B, Harris is a good CF. If our only holes are LF and SS that's not bad. Most teams have much bigger holes than that.

    Pitching you have 2 Cy Young contenders in Sale and Strider, rest of the rotation, who knows. But also who cares? Like if you have 2 aces you can ride you can go far. You don't need a dominant 1-4. It's better of course but if you have an elite offense and great top end pitching that goes a long way towards a title.

    I'm nervous about Sale staying healthy though. But fingers crossed he can be 80% of what he was last year at least.

    How quickly does control return with the half TJ surgery or whatever you call it?

    I don't think you could ever quantify something like that.

    I would imagine Strider shouldn't see a ton of control or velo drop.. But I would expect endurance to be an issue. not going deep into games and running a six man rotation would probably be good for all the injury risks on the staff..

    They won't do a six man rotation. Twit already has the lineup cards printed out through June and adding a 6th starter would make him have to visit Kinkos again.
