If Fitts is 100% healthy
He's going to be a fine addition the the Cardinals starting rotation. It will be interesting to see who wins the most games going forward in the MLB. Fitts or Gray. Fitts was a nice get for Bloom.

Re: If Fitts is 100% healthy
I don’t think we should be too optimistic. He might be a help but still a lot to prove. Durability and control. Hope for best. Just remember Gray trade was primarily a salary dump.
Re: If Fitts is 100% healthy
It may have been a salary dump, but picking up a major league starter and a very high ceiling pitching prospect
was excellent.
Re: If Fitts is 100% healthy
I agree. I've seen some video of Fitts pitching to some MLB hitters. It's exhilarating. https://www.mlb.com/cardinals/news/rich ... aeacab6136Cranny wrote: ↑08 Dec 2025 17:15 pmIt may have been a salary dump, but picking up a major league starter and a very high ceiling pitching prospect

He has good velocity and a decent repertoire. A good get if he can stay healthy. Seemingly a big "iff"

What if he’s only 98.6% healthy?

I’m not sure how to respond to that. But if 75 innings does it for you, that’s great.Shady wrote: ↑08 Dec 2025 17:17 pmI agree. I've seen some video of Fitts pitching to some MLB hitters.

You do understand there was a fairly serious injury issue for a pitcher, right?Jatalk wrote: ↑08 Dec 2025 17:41 pmI’m not sure how to respond to that.

Re: If Fitts is 100% healthy
Got it. The injury concerns may be why the Cardinals were able to acquire Fitts. Guess we'll find out in time.Jatalk wrote: ↑08 Dec 2025 18:04 pmYes.
