No Hendricks is boring and yeah, the top 30 talk gets annoying, but this team can't afford to give up young, healthy, cheap starting pitching with some major turnover coming for 2018. He and Lester are the only ones under contract after 2017. ---- I found Concepcion boring despite the results. If need be, we have the resources to acquire more starting pitching if need be. But I do agree that there's no reason to be actively shopping Hendricks. But if we're taking a part of a package for someone like Teharen or Fernandez (who I am very much aware that they are very different commodities,) then we could afford trade him. Trading away one of the two starting pitchers who is under team control past 2018, especially considering the state of the starting pitching situation in the minors, seems very unwise. Presumably, you're imagining giving up much more than Hendricks in a deal for either of those two pitchers, so you end up surrendering valuable assets without gaining anything in terms of long-term control. Hendricks may not be untouchable on the same level that other players in the organization are, but they should really avoid dealing him.
