You can never have enough starting pitching. The San Francisco Giants will for sure be without Johnny Cueto for all of 2019, and there is no telling what will happen with Jeff Samardzija next year. And as much as Shaun Anderson has impressed, you can’t rely on prospects who aren’t even in the Top 100 to be a “sure thing” without any sort of Major League success in tow. Insert Sonny Gray.
I know Sonny Gray wasn’t good with the Yankees last year. But in reality, he wasn’t terrible. The national outlets, and most of the New York media would have you believe that he was Matt Moore bad.
