    2018 Rotation discussion

    Thank God we grenaded all that money on Price, who will most likely be out for the season, so we can't make a run at Jake The Beard.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    All excited about Arrieta now, are we? If he gets a big contract he probably won't live up to it either. They usually don't. Price at least seemed like a decent bet durability-wise.

    Oh, we are talking about 2018 when we are fighting for post season in 2017. I'll catchup with that in November.

    It's never a bad time to complain about a theoretical lineup. That's far more worrisome than the last five weeks of a season.

    People are sick of complaining about Price and ready to embrace the idea of complaining about Arrieta...

    With a proper off season, I am thinking Velasquez might have an outside shot of winning the fifth spot in the rotation.

    A competition between Wright and Johnson for the fifth spot would probably result in both being injured.

    Even if Price has Tommy John, we might not try to acquire another starter.

    Wright
    Johnson
    Velazquez
    Beeks
    Elias
    Haley
    Owens (if he's not DFA'd to make room for a rule 5 player)
