His stuff plays, but is he “ready”? Maybe.Īll I can really say here is, if I don’t think they’ll get much in return for Hill (I don’t), I’d rather just abuse him and not have to force anything. Jared Jones is looking good, but do you really want to start his clock this year? And that in and of itself isn’t entirely genuine. To use your example, Quinn Priester could and probably will give them plenty of innings, but he’s already here, so it’s kind of silly to believe he’s replacing someone who also is currently here. Innings and who gives them especially when you’re at a point where it truly isn’t about winning a playoff berth anymore changes. The Pirates are 11.5 games back in the division, unless they go on another 20-8 run, we’re talking more about how much they improve over 2022 as opposed to making a playoff spot. – Teddy BagODonutsįirst, there isn’t a “wrong” here, it’s opinion. But does it matter? At this juncture of the season? Where the team currently stands? After Priester’s last start it looks like he has the “stuff” to be that innings eater Pirates need should Cherington trade Hill. If he’s not, wins for this ball club will continue to be elusive. If Hill is traded wins will be a challenge. Question 1Ĭorrect me if I’m wrong and explain why, but is it not the goal of a team to win games? Providing innings is half the battle.
Lots of frustration out there as we all should feel at times, appreciate the thoughtful questions that see through it.
