Relievers even the best ones are tough to predict (actually I bet you would find similar results for starters as well).
I don’t condone spending big money on FA starters either. When’s the last time that’s worked out? Scherzer?

Remember how pissed we were when the Cards missed out on Price? No one is too upset about that now. You have to develop starters from within, something we’re actually fairly decent at until Matheny gets ahold of them.
