I can't bring myself to hope for injury anyway. I hope that either we're hearing about a couple of them having improved pitches or some such in the next week or the unexpected signing happens. I'm fine with the current starters as long as the necessary improvements happen with at least 1 of the young guys. Or Felix reverts to usefulness at least.
The only postseason M's game I've made it to was Moyers Oct. 2nd start in 97. Randy lost the day before and Moyer just looked gassed from the start. It didn't look like a '97 start from Moyer. At 34 he had only just come into his own and hadn't yet had either of his best seasons. In '01 Moyer was great in the second spot and they advanced. Point is it's a lot tougher to get anywhere in the playoffs without 2 solid starters. I doubt any of you need reminded of that. We may have 2 or more but it's more questionable now than it actually has been in a very long time here. Maybe we've been spoiled by usually having a couple rocks at the front for so long.
The postseason is a long way off and that being my main reasoning for really needing another stud also means that there's potentially plenty of time to find one in the current mix or bring one in. If the FA market is so depressed by less teams fighting for postseason, what do you expect that will do to the trade market in July?
