Not a problem, Boom,
My suggestion was based on getting the lettuce to the rabbit. St. Louis is hungry for a CF and we have one. We need a starter, they happen to have some.
Haniger gets you no starting pitching. He was sort of a throw in to this deal. There are other ways to get SP's, but they cost you a bunch of your farm guys....or a ton of FA cash.
St. Louis has two fine young starters, both threw in the bigs last year: Reyes is 22 and had a 1.57 ERA in 47 MLB innings last year. 1.2 WHIP and K'ed 10.2. Has K'ed 12/9 across 334 MiLB innings. Walks some guys, but he can bring it. All talk is that he's in the St. Louis rotation in '17.
But Luke Weaver is a bit under the radar and is sneaky good! Former 1st round pick, 23 years old, had 8 starts last year, a 5.7 ERA, a 1.6 SHIP but K'ed 11/9.
He was lights out from A- AAA in '15-'16" 1.62 ERA in 105 innings during '15 in A+ and followed that up with a great AFL stint. In '16 her threw 77 AA innings with a 1.4 ERA. Then he threw 6 AAA innings with a 0.00 ERA before getting the call. Basically hes a roll at the Taijuan dice again.
You could get Leake but he costs you $15m x 4 and he isn't that good. Lynn you might get....but you'll limit his innings this year. Martinez would require a big bid, as Kraken suggests.
Martin can walk in '19. Who knows if there is even a QO system, then? For the rght arm, I would swap him out...no problem.
