This. If this team somehow manages to stay in contention until August, at least there will be an obvious spot for them to improve. Am I the only one who doesn't find that completely awful? Especially when Lilly is back we'll just have to deal with one of them making the regular 5th start. CCPacer put it really well that all we will really need is a serviceable 5th guy and we can pick from a group of guys that have been successful in the past or have potential to be good (Shark). Assuming the rest of them are healthy and pitching well. Right, but that's the same about any team in MLB. On paper, our projected 5 for the year could be much worse imo.
