Of course 2 years ago Pitching was too easy with the type error of 10 points per inning instead of 1 point. I have negative pitching points myself. I think the awful April weather has held back pitching. I look for pitching to become better now into May.
I'm trying 2 pitchers coming off IL, Ranger Suarez and Lance McCullers. One I had on IL, so I dropped a player and added Shane McClanahan to take Suarez spot on my IL. I ended up dropping Lux at 2nd/ SS and adding Story. I have no idea if Suarez or McCullers will do anything. I added and dropped Reds Diaz before Reds sent him back to minors. I'm willing to give Ranger and Lance a try coming off IL.
I would love to carry more bench hitters, but the start of season has me struggling to find pitchers I can count on. I'm even looking at pitchers who have been very injured coming off finally getting to do soft toss after months or years of doctors saying no baseball. There are young pitchers who have did great, but sent back to minors. When all these good young pitchers start getting called up, we will all get pitchers in this league in 2025. These teams are not going to be able to keep all these pitchers who did well in their major league outings, down on the farm. There is a bunch of them ready to hit the Majors to stay.
