I never mentioned Brown so now sure why you bring him up... at any rate, personally I'm more confident in Horton/Steele contributing positively going forward than Cabrera. Plenty of pitchers have come back from a 2nd TJS.
Jed needs to construct a better 2027 starting staff and acquire a true ace - anything from Horton/Steele should be considered a bonus, I'm guessing we all agree on that.
