I've had the feeling that Porcello in front of a good infield might not be a bad deal for the Ms, but I understand other's reservations. None of the FA pitchers looks like a fit. Maybe Bonderman has something left, maybe Beaven can find a third pitch and improve.
But I can't see a disaster waiting if we just rotate Paxton and Hultzen through with Felix, Iwakuma, Erasmo, and Beaven until we know what might work. Both of them are mature, solid guys. They know they're going to take lumps. It's not like some Latin kid who's in culture shock already, and who's not used to failure, so can't handle the transition to the grind of the majors. And we limit their innings increase by doing it (both had ~130 innings last year IIRC). So, yeah, EW! to signing a journeyman, let's see some of the future.
