I’ll get ya yet.

… of taking polished pitchers who have low ceilings but would be on the fast-track to the majors. Schlereth and Wade Miley were our first two picks last year, and both were just that kind of pitcher. It makes a bit of sense since we’ve already got two aces (Webb, Haren) and two guys who are high-risk, high-reward guys (Scherzer, Parker). So since we’re likely to have at least three if not all four of them as good-to-great starters in three years at the top of the rotation, we’re making sure to have guys to fill in at the bottom of the rotation, and frankly, Mike Leake as a fifth starter is a great option. Honestly, though, I’d have enough confidence in Scherzer/Parker/Miley/Augenstein/Wes Roemer to supply three starters, and would try to find a way to get a position player, because we’re clearly in need of bats. Maybe even a catcher. There’s a HS kid Max Stassi who can swing the stick behind the plate, much like Miguel Montero has failed to do. Enough tries you’ve got to get it right at some point…
