Would someone like Skenes be enough for this to be true. Even if you were to assume he was with them from opening day this year and was able to be a dominant ace pitcher; at best he would probably have them fighting for a WC spot.



I don't disagree I was just saying what my VP was saying to me. He seems to believe Skenes is going to be a savior. I am of the mindset that he will have a similar career arc of Aaron Nola where he pitches well on a losing team for his first 4-5 years before finally seeing success in the middle of his career. And thats if they continue to draft good players.

Thats a pretty fair assessment. Selfishly I was hoping they took Crews. I dont watch many games anymore and having an every day player to see would have been nice.
