When you can't put a pitcher on the mound who can at least give the team a chance for a win, get rid of that pitcher and make some kind of positive adjustments.

Of course not

I believe it has been tracked club by club and we are not the anomaly
We may not be an anomaly, but that doesn't mean we aren't doing some things wrong in this area. We may just have some company.

Just like at the Alamo. There is no help close by.

don't really follow college or HS baseball but from looking at several draft sites I would go all College with our first 3 picks in the draft.

8. Nick Lodolo LHP or Alek Manoah RHP
41. Seth Johnson RHP or Drey Johnson RHP
50. Graeme Stinson LHP or Ryne Nelson RHP

of course this will change by the time of the draft in June

I agree but some on here don't want us looking at FA's so then what's the answer

Free Agents don't make sense when you have guys in AAA, we don't really have that, that's why Miller, Lynn, Volquez made some sense as low risk investments, Lynn looks like he could pan out but Miller hasn't shown much more than flashes, and Volquez got hurt again

Our AAA guys got hurt (Mendez) or ineffective (Hearn) and Jurado has been in the bullpen so far

They should have looked for FA on very short term deals who had a legitimate chance at showing something, so they could be traded, but they choose to go the ultra cheap route instead.

those don't or won't even look at very short term deals

I hate losing him but we will need to put his name in the hat just to see what we could get in return. If it is really something worth while then I am for it. But I want us to be hardcore about this and put the pressure on the other team who really has a need for a playoff push.

We knew that AAA was bad and has been for a while. And you know better than I do since I do not follow the minors like I used to that it is our lower level pitching that we are waiting on.
