Future of pitching - Matthews, Hence, Thompson, Robberse, now Libby hurt

[Carp4Cy]

Also Pallante regressing sharply of late. Is he worn down or just not good?

What does this mean for the youth movement if we can't develop 1 (let alone 5) consistent 33 game starters from our system? Is it the draft picks or the program? They just don't seem durable enough.

Libby is hurt? What is it?

Diagnosed as fatigue according to STLcardinals.com

So no.

I think Pallante still has a lot to work on. I don't see him as a top of rotation guy yet. The ones with the best shot of being our best arm I think are Liberatore or Mathews. Hence has too many injuries. You couldn't go wrong drafting an SP arm if you could get a college arm close to big leagues, I'm not well versed on the choices of players we might get to pick at #5.

Pallante will never be a top guy, and that's fine. He's a #3/4. Still a lot of value in having a cheap one of those instead of paying a Miles Mikolas 18 mil a year.

Roby, if he can maintain his pitching health and durability. He has tremendous pitching talent.

He was hurt a lot last year (or was it the year before or both?). But seems good at the moment. Was last year a one-off or does he have durability issues too?

He's been hurt. A lot.

2023 58 innings pitched.
2024 38 innings pitched.
2025 10 starts, 47 innings pitched.

The talent is evident, but he has to stay healthy and he has to regain pitching stamina so that he can go 6-8 innings.

When you have personally watched him pitch, what do you like? When i watched his last couple starts his curveball was pretty on point

I think Pallante is a strong number four on a reset team. I’ll take 6 innings two run ball from an Ace, much less a four.

Last night he was good but he still has a 4.75 ERA. If that were Mikolas people would be calling for his DFA.
