It happens sometimes(see Aaron Sanchez), but far more often than not it never comes. This is why Cease's best utility to the organization will come in trade.
Is the Red Sox bullpen so drained that they're just letting Taylor take one for the team? He's at 40 pitches and his 3rd inning and the heart of the order is up.
We gotta wait til June then we'll get Stroman without trading Eloy or Happ because it'll be Javy and we'll take Tulo's contract and he'll be reinvigorated with less playing time and no artificial turf and I might have taken too much cold medicine tonight
Montero for Almora seems like over optimizing a bit, I'd rather Almora see a good RH than Montero a LH with the way Albert has looked today. It doesn't have any future implications either because a lefty is coming in for Schwarber regardless
This line of thinking is just stupidly asinine. Having two black holes in our vs. LHP lineup? Ok. You think....Baez....and Zobrist...are the black holes in a lineup against a LHP.
Depends on the severity of the worry. The time to be worried if all the starters are actually bad is about December. The time to worry about if they won't be as good as last year is about a week ago. The time to worry about if they are going to keep the Cubs from being top of the NL is very soon, and the time to worry about if they are going to keep the Cubs from making the playoffs is still a month or so away.
