Braves sign Collin McHugh

If it’s not Greinke, I don’t know who it would be. The rest of the free agent starter market is just so bad - and I’m not even remotely excited about Greinke. After what we gave up for Olson, I don’t think we can afford to give up a lot for a meaningful starter though.

Michael Pineda.

We need an innings eater. Not someone who's gonna miss half the season.

Wouldn't mind Pineda for the right price - high-upside veteran that would allow Ynoa/Wright/Muller/Davidson/Strider to make plenty of starts to gain experience.

Conforto/Pineda would probably be better than Pederson/Greinke.

Michael Pineda.

what about matt boyd? Has some injury issues and not an innings eater. Maybe you could get him on a kirby yates type low deal this year for more next year.

My thought would be you baby him and get him ready to be a stud in the playoffs. You could use some starts and/or innings from the Touki/Muller/Wright/Davidson/Ynoa/etc to baby him. I get going after an innings eater. I think you could sign an innings eater for 1 million. I'd be looking at an upside play. In the event we lose a starter I'd want someone who I think could at least get through a line up one time in a playoff game.

IMO Boyd has lost all the glitter on his star.

I wasn’t considering Pineda an innings eater. We can get one of those too. Pineda will be cheap and still has upside
