Outrageous! We have to have somebody pitch for us. In the not too distant past, Vargas was our #5 starter, and our rotation was creeping death nasty. Now, Vargas is our #2 starter, and the pickings behind him are untested, shaky, and thin.
We talk about the big three and four as if they were money in the bank, but we've seen these sorts of things go wrong before. We were talking that same can't miss schtick about Josh Leuke and Danny Cortez the year before this one, and both of those guys went up in flames. Hey, seven or eight years ago, we were talking about Ryan Anderson and Clint Nageotte, and Travis Blackley, and Felix. Most of those guys are gone with the wind.
And to talk of trading League, the foundation of our shaky bullpen, who is well en route to another All Star 40 save season, and who has no apparent successor?
Now that we have the average offense we have been coveting for 8 years, we should not wish to immolate it with substandard pitching.
Guys who pitch well in Seattle should stay in Seattle. We should sign League, and Felix, and Vargas, and run a carousel with the rest, until somebody sticks. Then we should sign him too.
