Cumpton had surgery last March. Kingham had surgery last May. Sadler went under the knife in October. Sanchez was cut open around the same time as Sadler. It’s not like they were injured in ST and caught NH off guard. He had PLENTY of time to find decent replacements.
Emphasis on the word ‘decent’…the pitchers appearing for the Pirates in 2016 who weren’t part of the org in 2016 have pitched 279 inning with an ERA over 5.00 and a WHIP approaching 1.5.
NH did a poor job adding to the staff this year. It’s okay to admit it.
