Similar to Oakland where he built through pitching: Mulder, Maddox, Hudson all through him... he has built our farm up through pitching.
Now with rumors of getting Sydegaard and Sanchez (one of the 2 would suffice as well), you can clearly see his head is back at the pitching staff.
Harvey, Wheeler, Niese, Gee, Mejia, Familia, Fullmer, Mateo, Tapia, Mazzoni, Syndegaard/Sanchez (or maybe even both)...
Not all will pan out, but clearly the more quality arms we have the better chance one will step up and actually succeed.
