Not sure if it is the best strategy or one that will work for the Jays, but that is basically how the Cardinals built their pitching staff that ended up winning the pennant for them.
Rather than hoping to get lucky though they were relying on Duncan being able to help these guys fix their problems. But if you look at Weaver, Suppan and Marquis. These are three guys nobody really wanted or wanted to give big bucks to.
So if you have a good pitching coach and the right guys it may be a method that works and one that is effective in this crazy pitching market.
(I apologize to Sylvanfan in advance for bringing up the Cardinals in the Blue Jays thread I know you are tired of me talking about them.
