I understand this all generally works itself out... I really do.
But am starting to see quite a logjam here with near-mlb ready pitchers:
You've got the locks:
Newcomb
Folty
Soroka
Then you've got the high upside arms who appear to be near ready if not ready:
Gohara
Fried
Allard
Wright
You have someone like Touki who could be knocking on the door by 2020.
Plus you have Teheran under contract. And I contend Wisler would be a very servicable #5.
That's 9 guys there. I'd love to be able to dump Julio, and you can always count on an injury or two and a flameout... but it is a bit of embarrassment of riches.
Of course, this could all be solved with a couple trades, but I'm having a hard time seeing the natural path to regular big league innings for the deserving kids
