Sure. But which pitchers aren’t, at this point? The model is: collect two rotations’ worth of talented starters, hope some mix of them gets you to the playoffs by September, and pray you have four left pitching well heading into October.
But even the “apologists” have been clamoring for more SP depth all offseason? So he’s really just roaring into a void of imagined disagreement at this point.
The Braves exist in fiduciary superposition: they both do and do not have resources at any given moment they aren’t directly observed. Anthopoulos is working with Schrödinger’s Budget (which is obviously average).
While all of you were debating the average of average, the Braves did make a pitching signing (which I fully expected a couple weeks ago when he was first released).
Almost 24% reporting and Andruw sitting just above 81%. This may be the year.
If so, the narrative will be: two electric-if-flawed outfielders with generational talent but deep legacy warts waltz into the Hall together anyways.
