Montas, Q, Rodon and Pilkington all starting tonight.
One thing we do pretty well besides stealing bases is ending up losing players with little to nothing to show for it.
Q obviously being one of the rare exceptions.
But now we’re running the very same risk with Giolito…the Twins dealt Nelson Cruz for their current young ace in Joe Ryan (Abreu deal would be the equivalent) and sold high on Berrios while managing to avoid a bad contract extension and investing that money into Buxton/Correa. They got Sanchez/Urshela back for another contract they wanted to offload in Donaldson.
As it stands today, German Marquez and Berrios are the only qualified MLB starters with over 5.00 ERA’s. Berrios is at 5.86, in fact. Giolito is just a couple innings from qualifying to be third worst, although he got screwed by his defense last night.
But the odds of Rick Hahn pulling off a similar set of moves as the Twins…about the same as Jackson State making it into the BCS or whatever they’re calling it these days.
