Or go to 6 man rotation. Allow pitchers to throw 100-130 pitches when they are pitching well or easy. Allow them to build up arm strength for a year or two. Then go back to best 5 and have pitchers with more arm strength. Quit telling them to throw balls to the wall. Take stuff off more. Hitters are still suckers for off speed stuff. Easily fooled. Striking out everybody is not the best idea either.
I’m sure more analytical minds than mind are working on it now.

Hunter Green is the real deal. This is just the beginning. With he and Lodolo anchoring this staff, the future is bright. Now, if we only had a bullpen. Then, we’re going to compete with te Brewers ad Cardinals.

It sure looks like Hunter, Lodolo, and Ashcraft all have the stuff to stick. Only factor that'll hold these 3 back is health. I'd even like to see Overton again. He'd be a good BOR arm. I'm feeling excited now to see what they get for Mahle. Would like to see a good C prospect be part of the deal.

In other news, Michael Papierski and his little league Wilson catcher's mitt is the worst major league catcher I have seen in my 50 years of watching the game. Add to that his anemic bat speed, and I just have a hard time believing that is the best scrub major league ready catcher available anywhere.
