This was Wright's 1st bad outing though. I agree with you about how scary bad our pitching looks to be right now. That's both SP & RP. SP certainly looks to be in worse shape than our bullpen but we are without Minter & O'Day to start the season.

Other than Teheran we don't have even a semi-dependable SP really. Gausman if he was to only miss his 1st start in the rotation would be dependable but he was hit hard before his arm discomfort this spring.

If the pitching doesn't get healthy & what we have doesn't look better then we better hope that our bats are on fire for a while to start the season. If our hitting isn't on par with our pitching situation then we could have a rough start to the season.

It is certainly SCARY & concerning about our pitching. I wonder if we might make a trade for SP's now with the pitching situation? I could see it as a possibility because we are depleted even though we have several pitching prospects but most of them are not ready for the MLB level yet.

I also agree that I'm glad we didn't trade away Teheran. I never wanted to trade him away anyhow but I did say that if we could get the right players in a trade of him I would be OK with it.
