Post by ClassicO »

I think it will be 2028 before the pitching staff comes around.

1. McGreevy
2. Doyle
3. Palante
4. Leahy
5. Quinn Mathews

(??? Dobbins, Franklin, Cijntje, Fajardo, Brandon Clarke, Fitts)

BP -RHP
O'Brien
Gastelum
Graceffo
Soriano
Franklin


BP - LHP
Libby
Hjerpe
Sandro Santana

(??? Ryan Fernandez, Roby, Mautz, Mason Molina, etc.)

I would not be surprised if some of these guys are traded to fill other needs. I'm thinking 3B. We just have SO MUCH dang pitching depth. Remains to be seen, though, if any of them can be a leading man, though.

I doubt it’s Doyle or Franklin.

2027 Rotation:

McGreevy
Liberatore
Leahy
Pallante
Matthews

Dobbins & Fitts will push for a rotation spot.

Doyle is still a year away (2028).

As of now, I would expect the OD 2027 rotation to be something like:

Leahy
Pallante
Dobbins
McGreevy
Mathews

with Doyle and Cijntje knocking on the door later in 2027.

Then Franklin, Fajardo, maybe Clarke pushing to get in sometime in 2028.

I can see Pallante traded, then a May-like signing brought in.

My post was the staff “a year away.”

Again - I was referring to a year from now (“later in 2027,” not the OD staff.
I don’t disagree about the OD staff. I think by mid-August they will bring up Doyle and one of the starters we agree on will be replaced. = Dobbins.

Who knows.
Just a mental exercise.
I counsels be completely off.

I took it to mean 2027.
