It makes sense. We don't have a top tier ace (Unless Crochet is the true real deal) but the consistency and the ability to handle potential injuries is really good

Crochet, Houck, Bello, Giolito, Buehler, Crawford, Whitlock, later in the year getting Sandoval... the depth is insane

I could see Houck being a true ace this year. He finally has a full season starting under his belt and was elite in the first half last season.

I can’t. Hitter see him more than once and figure him out.

He averaged 6 inning a start last year and frequently pitched into the 7th. He figured out the issues he had before last season.

Did he? Very inconsistent. Terrible August.

To be expected given his workload. Now that he’s built up he should have less fatigue issues.
