What's our rotation now?

[stormngt]

I am assuming Canning, Pena, Suarez, Barria and Peters?????

Do we have any other possibilities?

Cahill

Canning-Pena-Barria-Suarez-Peters/Tropeano/Cahill/bullpen

Tropeano

A player to be named later

I wonder if there is a team out there where we get two starters, one with potential and the other being a warm body.  I’m thinking a better version of the Alex Myers/Ricky Nolasco trade.

From Harvey, Cahill, Heaney, Stratton, Skaggs 

to canning, Suarez, barria, Pena, Peters. 

We literally need two rotations every year.

I thought that was a bad trade, hated to give up Santiago...turned out none of them did much....Nolasco was pretty good for the rest of that season....

I don't know, but it is remarkable where this team is despite what has happened to the rotation.   

If you would have told me what happened to the original rotation, I would've thought they'd be 15 games under .500.  Or worse.  

[John Taylor]

Shawn Boskie, Joe Blanton, Ken Hill, Griffin Canning and 1995 Fernando Valenzuela

You're kidding, right?

7.66 ERA in Salt Lake, 11.7 hits/9 innings

Tells you how good the offense and bullpen has been.  If we can get just two reliable starters to add to the mix...

I was kinda of joking.  Hell I am the guy that isn’t really sold on Barria for the same reason.  But as far as depth goes, we literally have exhausted it all, so Trop is on the list somewhere.

The first 5 guys that come out the door:

Eppler needs to fill both the 2 & 3 spots in the rotation with the hopes that Ohtani is our Ace.

When are the Angels going to give Cash Considerations a chance to be in the starting rotation?

Cash need TJ surg.  He'll be back in a year 18 months 2022

Ohtani is our ace next year by default, until his arm blows out again.

That's not a remote risk given his history and the general nature of pitchers these days.

Ohtani is probably slated to be our Ace next season. I don’t think Arte will pony up for a $180M -$200M arm. Especially a Boras client. I just hope that Ohtani’s velocity doesn’t take a dive. I’m also concerned about his two way player workload management and how that affects the rest of the rotation. I wonder how the rest of the rotation handles their own preparation when Ohtani can kind of pick and choose his own pitching schedule and his days off. He’s a phenomenal talent but let’s see how all this plays out.
