I like this rotation to begin next year.

Dunning
Allard
Hearn
Otto
Alexy, Latz or Cody

The other two from that fifth slot and King join Winn at Round Rock.
What do you do with Arihara?

I agree. We have a solid 9 SP and 5 spots to fill
We have 5 “semi-solid” bats but 9 spots to fill
I think we need to get 3 bats via FA this offseason
I count 12 right now that are going to be at ST vying for a starting spot in Alexis, Allard, Arihara, Burke, Dunning, Hearn, Howard, Otto, Y. Rodtiquez, Winn, Henriquez & Bradford. And that doesn’t count several I’be probably missed and possibly 1 or 2 FA’s

Man that’s nasty. Just replacing Lyles and Folty with avg pitchers next year and adding a couple solid bats should make us much more productive and fun to watch
How about replacing them with 1 quality pitcher and going with our prospects plus we will still have Arihara. Add some one like Story and maybe Canha bring up Huff and Jung. I wouldn’t complain.

Peters now with a higher average than Gallo which still isn’t saying much.

That depends on if he builds up any trade value over the next 4 weeks. If so then trade him, if not he would go to the pen unless he is optionable.

Burke has been terrible. I think he is in danger of being released.

So glad Hearn is doing good.
he was a guy I was rooting for before the season started to come in and pitch 2-3 innings in relief the first half and then be moved to the rotation once we traded Lyles.
we didn’t trade Lyles but we did trade Gibson which opened up a spot for him.

If he is at ST there is a decent chance that it is on a minor league deal after he is released.
Yeah, he’s been very bad.. 24 starts between majors and AAA with an ERA of about 7.00
Not sure we even bring him back on a minors contract with the depth we have..

Yeah, I think he will be an easy cut when we have to get down to 40 in about 3 months. Maybe, Palumbo too.
