[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1473149, member: 588522"] I think they made enough moves to make this a competitive post season roster... but I would've liked to have seen a bigger name reliever get traded for. Maybe Theo is banking on Morrow for the 7th/8th inning, but that seems like extremely wishful thinking. Castellanos is a great piece to get for the little we gave up. Destroying LHP this year--exactly what we need. No reason to think a lineup that includes Rizzo, Bryant, Baez, Contreras, and Heyward can't compete day in and day out. Some combo of Schwarber, Happ, Castellanos, Bote, and Zobrist is a darn good 6-8 slot as well. Yu's finally pitching his contract. Hendricks looking sharp. Hopefully Hamels can come back and perform similarly to before his injury because a 4 man post season rotation of Hendricks, Lester, Yu, and Hamels is looking pretty good (I'm not confident Q can give us 6 innings of good baseball). It's not even close to the Astros rotation, but it should be good enough to give at least an average rotation in the postseason. [/QUOTE]
