why is that? Flaherty and Hudson have way higher ceilings than him. We need them to excel, not Lynn be stable but average.

Flaherty is a nice prospect, but he's not a future ace, and Reyes has never thrown more than 115 innings or so. Given that there were only about 15 guys that threw 200 last year in all of baseball, you need innings. Lynn gave you good innings. Wainwright is done, Wacha's shoulder is always a question mark, he's not that good when healthy anyway, and Reyes is not going to be close to carrying a full season load until 2020. So where are you going to get all those innings from? And Lynn was not stable but average. He was 20th in baseball in WAR from the time he became a starter until his elbow injury and 22nd in innings. He wasn't as good last year, but no one is their first year back from TJ. Take Martinez's first three years as a starter: 10 WAR, about 190 innings per year, struck out 9 per 9 innings Take Lynn's first three years as a starter: 9.9 WAR, about 190 innings per year, struck out 8.5 per 9 innings Why is one an ace and the other one just average and stable? Cardinal fans criminally underrated Lance Lynn, and now they get to enjoy shitbags like Miles Mikolas and wait for guys that never sniffed his MLB production despite being in AA to replace him.

Alex Reyes is still on the DL? What's the word on him? Just handling him softly or what?

There is more to this game than statistics. Lynn never passed the eye test. He rarely shined in a crucial time. Most of the time he wilted when we needed him to step up. He was just another guy. If the Cardinals were such buffoons for not re-signing Lynn, what about the other 31 clubs? If he has such great talent and value, why did he only get offered a super cheap one year deal from those other 31 clubs?

You need Lynn to eat innings to get you to said crucial time.

Mo is an abomination. Losing Lynn like that is beyond pathetic.

In 2019, the Cardinals are going to have the best young pitching staff in baseball. No other club will come close to the youth and MLB quality we will have in the rotation. No one.

Prospects are prospects and 32 isn't exactly ready to put to pasture

Mo deserves a lot of grief over some of his decisions. Just not this one. The fact that the other 31 baseball teams wern't interested in having him as a part of their rotation beyond 1 year or unless dirt cheap cant be ignored.

Pardon me if I don't share your enthusiasm about our young pitchers. Martinez has a 10 cent head, Reyes is an unknown until he gets some innings under his belt and Flaherty and Weaver are just prospects.
