Yeah, if the Jays are going with what they've got, hopefully some arms emerge. They have a lot of mud to sling at the wall, some of it has to stick you would think.
People forget that Robbie Ray was a very high end starter from 2017-19. He just walked a touch too many batters, so he tried to tweak his delivery for 2020 and it blew up in his face. Hopefully an off season to go back to what he was doing before will get him back to a 3+ WAR starter. He's only 28 and has elite stuff.
And Pearson has all the tools to be an elite starter too. He just needs experience, and to stay healthy.
If those two things happen, the Jays rotation is in much better shape, and between Matz, Roark, Stripling, Chatwood, Thornton, Kay, Hatch, etc, etc they should be able to find a couple of average at worst starters.
