I can remember as if it were just yesterday. Garrett Richards, Tyler Skaggs, Nick Tropeano, Andrew Heaney, J.C. Ramirez, Matt Shoemaker. Behind them were Alex Meyer, then even Parker Bridwell. Each of these guys were young, with flashes of brilliance, and huge upside. With seasoning, and time to get through a tad of health challenges, we looked to have years worth of a great nucleus for starting pitching. Lots of depth.
But...”a tad of health challenges”.....The tad grew into a mountain. The mountain became a full mountain range.
