Developing pitching is critical for small markets. It's pretty remarkable we did what we did without doing it. I suppose YV was, Duffy sorta (didn't do a ton during our runs). We did pawn off Odorizzi, Finnegan and Reed. Manaea

I'm not sure I understand. He's not related to the two crazy Weaver brothers, if that's what the thought was.

While I do agree that Danny wasn't an enormous presence in either of our postseasons, Duffy was instrumental during the regular season in 2014. In fact, he was our most dominant starter during a critical stretch of the season.

BRUSH WITH GREATNESS
I think I mentioned this in the Cardinals thread when he made his debut last year: My wife works with Luke Weaver's mother. |

I don't think Weaver is quite there, yet. He's close, but needs to have some MLB success to shed the prospect label. In terms of safeness or floor, he's towards the top of the heap there. Having a successful AAA stint is important. He's also thrown a lot of minor league innings without injury concerns, so that is a mark in his favor. I'd be thrilled to add Weaver to KC's crop of arms, both for 2017 and moving forward. He would be a great ft in KC and matches the profile of guys Moore has brought in when moving pieces about to be FAs. Duffy, Kennedy, Weaver, Karns would be a pretty good - and economical - way to approach 2018 and beyond in the rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In Cuthbert I see someone who's ceiling is Anthony Rendon and who's floor is....I dunno....does a poor man's Juan Uribe seem fair? He has the bat control to make him a viable player even if his power doesn't take a step forward. He'll be BABIP reliant at that point but with his GB rates, his BABIP should stay pretty high. And if his GB rates drop, it will probably mean more fly balls which will be a good thing for him as his frame can support more power if he puts the ball in the air more. I like him but my Cards friends think that someone like Jose Ramirez or Jonathan Villar is a more equitable return or they prefer more risk/reward prospects like Matt Chapman. If I went that route, I'm a fan of Ryan McMahon (gonna watch him this year as I think he takes a big step forward).

Which Dozier (Twins or the Royals)? If you want to swap our Dozier for Luke Weaver. I'm game. Heck I think I would strongly consider Cuthbert for Weaver.
