Another thing to consider.
Many tend to think of Civale and Plesac as what they are now, or have been so far, with no upside. But neither are old by any stretch of the imagination. Plesac turns 27 this week. Civale turns 27 in June. (Bieber turns 27 in May)
Arguably, the best SPs we have had in this century are CC, Lee, Westbrook, Cookie, Kluber, Bauer, and Clevinger.
Everyone of them, excepting CC and Westbrook, were better after turning 27 than before....by a lot. (Westbrook blew out his arm)
Lots of talk about the upside of our prospects, but there is still upside with our present rotation...and several of our position players.
