Their pitching overall was better.
Why not trade Edman? All players are tradeable. Other than your obsession with him why wouldn’t the Cardinals trade him? He is good player but not close to being a superstar. You have to give something good to get something good back. I think they at the very least should do the due diligence to explore what they could get for him.
So Gibson is better than Gray. And Lynn going 7-2 with the Dodgers is a good metric for his 2024 season.
Sonny Gray record was 8-8. Win and losses is not a good metric. If Gibson 15 games won makes him better then Gray’s only 8 wins makes him worse. That’s why it is a poor metric.
I am very happy most of the people here are very happy with the 3 new pitchers. I am not I like Gray but not the other two. Time will tell. I am not thrilled but you have made it abundantly clear I am not only in the minority but also unable to understand how much Lynn and Gibson bring.
The expectations were more like Gray and less like Lynn. You already had Mikolas so adding Gibson would be ok but adding both Lynn and Gibson is redundant. I don’t get adding Lynn at all. Innings eaters or not. Lynn is the same as Gibson and Mikolas only worse.
Negativity about Lynn is well warranted. Gibson might be marginally better than Lynn. Gray is a solid addition. Mikolas is basically the same as Gibson. I will keep Matz out the assessment as the spring chicken of the group I will stay neutral on him.
