Mattingly optimistic about rotation options

Featured Replies

Marlins have a bunch of #4 starters with maybe a 3 mixed in

 

Conley and Volquez are firmly in the #3 category, with both having potential to be in the upper half of that group. Straily will more than likely give us #3 type production. Koehler is a #4 and Chen is a 6 however 

 

 

They might be "big league starters" by definition, but more likely than not they won't be "quality" big league starters. That's all I'm saying. A competitive team would consider other options for their rotations.

 

That's fair, I was more answering those who suddenly think we're not putting a major league worthy product on the field and I think we are.

Considering how pessimistic you are, this is actually a fair assessment, though I think you'd be ok with saying more than one could be a 3 with a bounce back year, maybe even a 2 sprinkled somewhere in there.

 

 

Chen is a 6 however

This is harsh and unfair... he was injured last year from literally day 1, let's hope he's healthy this year and see what he can do if so.(You may have totally been exaggerating with what you said though, if so, my bad)

It was an exaggeration, no worries

Sure Chen can probably be a real #3

I think on almost any other MLB team only Conley and Chen would be in rotations, and both would be #4 or 5 starters. 

 

Or maybe Straily and Volquez too who were BOTH in rotations last year lofl 

 

 

Yeah. Everyone in the rotation is good enough to be a major league starter. A starter on a bad team 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah. But we do probably have 1 that is a legit 1 or will be considered one by season end

 

get your shit together or the Cubs will beat your ass over and over

I like our rotation but they all will give me a few number 2's a start.

Koehler is the one I'm most looking forward to see pith this season. I hope he takes that next step and shows he's a solid 2 or 3 this season.
