If we only get 1 SP I'm sticking with Saurez over Povich for the 5th spot, though I think Saurez plays up more in the BP than Povich.

Burnes, Grayson, and Kremer is still a very good top 3. Kremer you'd obviously rather have as your 4th or 5th, but is what it is. Saurez is a solid enough #5 going forward. Probably been a little lucky, but still a 3.54 FIP. Only Burnes and Bradish have been better.

Only 3 guys ever start in the postseason anyway. 4 at most.

Thats the headcase Povich stuff that he consistently did in the minors.

Reminded me of most of my golf rounds this summer. Get to the course late because I’ve been super busy. No warm up. Drive goes out of bounds hole 1. My penalty shot is topped. My next shot is pulled way left and OOB. Then I 3-putt when I get to the green. Never feel comfortable from that point on and completely blow up.

Povich looked uncomfortable from the 1st pitch. It was painful to watch.

It's a very good top three entirely because of the top 2 and that's out of 30 teams. It's less impressive out of 8 or 4 or 2. Our offense means we don't have to out-pitch everyone, but I'd like to. I'd strongly consider ponying up for the best starter we can find.

Man Bradish's injury is a bummer.

Ugh. At least you get more strokes the next time you go out with the boys. Lol.

It's 4 the vast majority of the time as far as I can tell.

If your team is built to succeed, then yeah, you need 4 SP.

I'm good with adding the best possible SP they can reasonably add. No need for a second after that imo. The new guy would hopefully make the top 3 very strong and then I'm good with the best of Kremer, Suarez, or Povich starting game 4. Spend the additional trade capital on the pen imo.
