Anybody who thought we should target a starter at the trade deadline, think again. We need to target not 1 but 2 elite relief pitchers. Graveman and Bard. Go get them both. If we are going to win this thing again, it's got to be by the same formula. The bullpen being lock down.
A good starter pushes one of our better arms to the bullpen and eats more innings. We also no one healthy left starting pitching wise. The rotation in Sugar Land is not good.
IMO there are two CLEAR priorities at the deadline. SP and relief help. Go get a power/shutdown arm for the bullpen. And go get AT LEAST one solid/above average SP, maybe even two. lineup will be fine. But adding at least one, maybe 2, above average SPs would do wonders for this team. And would do wonders for the bullpen as well.
