seemingly every year this team ownership thinks that just putting 25 players on the field is enough and that the fans don't really care about the quality of the product

they should feel compelled to “ do better” then the last few years. Especially after the people of Arlington helped fund their new stadium.

No to Perez, Holland, Smyly, Moore, Miller, Ross, Detwiler and Cashner who crashed and burned at the end of the year. So no to almost the whole list.

I’d take a shot on eickoff and Roark and cashner as a RP. Not as a starter

pass on them

I mean what do you want?

eickoff has a career 4.15 fip and can be hand for change found in the owners couch.

Roark is a guy who solidly fill innings.

What are you looking for?

Donaldson can't sign before Nov 14th, but he can talk to clubs.

Better we've got 2 of those already in Minor and Lynn what we need is the #1 quality starter. Someone who steps in at 1 with Minor, Lynn and Allard at 2, 3 & 4

Would any of the guys you said you would pass on work as a 4th or 5th starter? Or in the pen?

If we want to improve and compete in 2021 and beyond we need a #1

Your best path to that is either Cole or trading minor or Lynn for the right prospect

Prospects are just that prospects. There is no guarantee that a prospect, no matter how good they are in the minors, is going to do it in the majors. That's why you solidify the top of the order with a and bring them in at 4 or 5 and let them get comfortable while working their way up.

Then pay $250m for Cole
