    ya we definitely have better rotations than the dodgers and nats... or indians for that matter. what team are you watching? unless you're talking about fantasy land where our best pitchers aren't consistently injured and our bullpen is the same bullpen from may.

    Ok, is there a thought out response? Or that's all you got?

    If all our pitchers suck that badly, we're going to lose early in the playoffs anyway. Trading for an extra starter is pointless in that scenario.

    On the flip side, Mike Fiers pitching above his career norm had them extending their overall lead.

    I don't think all those worst case scenarios will happen, but I also disagree that more pitching help is pointless.

    Mediocre to average pitching can actually do wonders with this lineup.

    No? Plenty of ppl complain, pretty much the foundation of this forum. I'm disappointed in our lack of movement, our team has been struggling. Why don't you get over my opinion and come up with something better to add than "stop having different views than me"

    Really? You are disappointed in the lack of movement? I would have never guessed.

    What makes you think Crain will okay the budget increase? I really question that happening. We had to move Aoki's salary to take on Liriano's salary.

    Then Crain should be called out by the local media. We looked past the cheap spending previously and chalked it up to re-building. But if he's vetoing deals now because of the money when we have a damn good shot, he needs to be killed for it.

    Especially when DET was willing to pay for Verlander's remaining 2017 salary. Beltran off the books next year helps absorb Verlander's contract -- and he will likely come off the books when it's time to pay our young stars.
