[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1772922, member: 747321"] Our pitching is really a big problem, was obviously going to be a problem, and we really missed the ball on it this offseason. Lots of rotation and bullpen arms out there and we went with cheap options hoping to uncover a gem. I honestly don't blame Mo. I think if he had the money available he'd use it (the guy brought in Goldy and Arenado). Between our offseason signings and taking TON to arbitration over a $700k difference I think it's pretty clear DeWitt has no intention of increasing payroll. We have the 2nd highest per game attendance in the league; I'm sure we could afford to be a top 7 or 8 team in payroll, if not higher (we are currently 12th). It's a shame too because instead of money now upgrading pitching will cost talent, possibly even promising prospects. [/QUOTE]
