The questions for me would be, is this the real Lance Lynn or is he the guy that his career stats says he is. He has only had one great half of one season. What is the long term on Wacha and his arm? Lackey is getting up there, what will he be after another year on that Arm.

Echo these concerns.

With slight hesitation I still move Miller.

With 4 guys slotted in (yes, some of them have question marks about health ect) and arms like Gonzalez and Martinez ready to be in a rotation next year I say adios to Shelby who has been a borderline bad egg -- issues with drinking/fighting in the minors (hardly something I hold against him, but it did happen), wouldn't listen to minor league instructors about throwing the curve, shook off Yadi so much they put a no shake rule on him, and a terrible attitude at times, especially in interviews.

Kind of a silly thing to bring up right now, but oh well.

Yea, I have seen much of that as well. I think he either "gets it" by the end of spring training next year or you look at options.

No man, think trading from our starting pitching strength makes sense. Im pretty conservative in these types of things. I would be a terrible GM. All sports, hockey,football,baseball...
