High velocity, high-leverage, LH relievers >>>>>> than a great 3rd starter in the playoffs. I say we ride with what we got, as long as AA is willing to go get a starter at the deadline if we get 2nd half Elder, and none of the 5th starter options step up and grab that role.

AA went after Aaron Nola because he wanted AARON NOLA, not just another good SP. He's not gonna get a SP just to get a SP. And I'm fine with that, again, as long as he fills the obvious needs at the deadline and doesn't rely on a bunch of injured guys to come back healthy in September.

It's not exactly an either/or thing, considering the actual salaries for the relievers we did get don't exactly break the bank.

We entered this offseason knowing we needed to bolster the pen and shore up the rotation. Just because we've done half of that doesn't mean the job is done.

No one is saying this is what he should do. Point still stands that there were/are better pitchers than Morton and especially Elder available.
