The bullpen isn't a problem of lack of talent it's not meeting expectations. If Storen and Cecil are pitching like they should this teams has at least 4 more wins and are leading the division.

I would also argue that if the core of this team needed someone like Price to give them a shot in the arm then you have pretty terrible leadership in your core. Stroman is pitching, IMO, as good as Price did for this team so if you are looking for the shot in the arm they've already got it. I don't really undertstand the logic of going out to get a big name when you've got internal options who are out performing any big name they could have acquired. Why is the combo of adding Stroman/Sanchez to the rotation not even of a shot in the arm to show guys like Bautista/EE/Donaldson they mean business?

I think we need to look a lot more closely at who Bautistia and EE are if they are waiting for the organization to show some more support. The auxiliary pieces are there, up to them to get the job done.
