Those 3 pitchers you named are going to be in very high demand and unless we can get one at good value it's almost a guarantee that we can't match a big dollar club. And for all the complaining about a 30 year old Olivera those pitchers are the same age. Granted he still has to prove himself in the bigs like they no doubt have but $20 mil per year is the start for those guys. Now if we are trading away pitching this offseason to get a controllable bat then we can consider a pitcher but I think I still work on elevating the position players, catcher and bull pen first.

And in reference to your post right above that, you were talking about one game with Wisler and question if he can be a starter. Forgetting the other games he pitched really well in. Knee jerk and that's not the first time. When Peterson was hitting well the first half of the year you were all for getting rid of Peraza. That's what I mean about taking small samples to voice your opinion on a player. They will have bad stretches. All players do. Especially young guys. I do think he is self correcting some right now. But Peraza didn't look like he was ready for next year either.
I have no doubts that I knee jerk. I'm a hardcore braves' FAN. I feel like hart had a hard on for Olivera and the Dodgers took hart to the cleaners for that love of a player. I hope I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. I just don't feel I am at this exact moment haha
