What I mean by this is on the rotation, you have Barrios and Manoah as locks for being healthy and bringing their worth to the table. Ryu when healthy is a #1, but his pitching ability is suddenly in question. Matz turned it around and could be a #4, but we'll have to see if he continues his play from last year. Quite a few unknowns in the rotation. I like the intimidation a guy like Syndergaard brings, but I'm worried of his health. I personally hope they go bigger and sign a vet for 2 years. Some big name old guys on the list this year would really help with leading through experience and calming the young team down behind the scenes, as well as their short term deals would work for our team structure.

Yeah Syndergaard is a risk for sure, I think he's going to end up signing a 1 year pillow contract somewhere to prove himself. He'd be a risk like Ray was a risk. The risk with Ray was his control issues, for Syndergaard it would be health.
