Elder’s perfectly acceptable as the 5th/6th guy to open the season.

The question is whether we have an acceptable backup plan if he sucks (or when other guys get hurt).

Ritchie and Fuentes say hey.

A fully health roster entering the season would be quite lethal (Murph, Kim, Profar, SS2, Waldrep, AJSS)... while we've given AA some shit about depth in the rotation, the actual roster he has built top to bottom is quite strong. Health still needed though

Conversely, anybody forming a strategy on “hope” is a loser. I have no issue with the sum of the core, but I’m not wanting to rely on the youth yet. They need to cook more. So yes.. I’m looking at it from a youth standpoint and a WS standpoint. AA has proven he’s not infallible, but I’ll give you the fact he’s not completely left this team devoid of a “chance.”
