With the understanding that as we taped this, Lucas Giolito has not been signed.

I would say the Red Sox have, there is, when they get put at the top of the list because of Fangraph's war,

I would say that with the way that baseball is currently constituted,

I think that there is a case for them putting them at number one.

Now, understand, they have three guys who have projected wars of 3.3 or better.

That is Garrett Crochet, 5.6, Sonny Gray, 3.9, Ranger Suarez at 3.3.

That is something.

The Dodgers, for instance, well, they have Yamamoto at 3.5, Blake Snell, 3.0, and then it drops down to Glasnow just under three.

at 2.9 so it's not that it's not unusual it's not to say that they aren't a team that doesn't have you know the be all end all guy they could I mean I can pick holes in terms of where which way these guys might trend but still as we sit here

It's very important to understand that they have a top of the rotation.

But it's more than that.

We talk about going through a season and managing a season and, once again, bobbing and weaving your way through a season and having those options like Toronto did with Treyya Savage, that type of thing.

The Red Sox have those guys right now.

So after Crochet, Gray, Suarez, you have Brian Baio, who could jump up into the twos and threes in terms of war.

Oviedo, sort of a flyer on him.

Patrick Sandoval, who's coming back from injury but has success in the past.

Then you have Kyle Harrison, Peyton Tolley, Cutter Crawford, and Conley Early, all guys who should be perceived, if you drop them into any team, perceived as legit middle-of-the-order guys.

I'm sorry, middle rotation guys, Major League Baseball rotation guys.

So if you do the count, my math adds up.

That's nine guys, nine guys.
