That is what I got from it. And Z premise does work, but he just can't draft the farm like he needs to. And no excuse because we have had plenty of high picks under Jack and have lost very few picks do to free agent signings.
Add Lee to that list and we should have had 3 starters who contribute and at least 2 MiLB prospects for future or trade to with it. You can't miss that bad on trading good pitchers. The draft is a whole different f'ed up'ed thing.
Don't forget Pineda.
Z has traded away an entire pitching staff and has absolutely nothing to show for it.
Rotation of pitchers the Mariners have traded away, along with what they have done since leaving the Mariners:
Brandon Morrow: 4.40 ERA 93 GS
Cliff Lee: 2.98 ERA 103 GS
Doug Fister: 3.23 ERA 80 GS
Erik Bedard: 4.71 ERA 73 GS
Michael Pineda: 1.83 ERA 4 GS
Jason Vargas: 3.70 ERA 43 GS
Some of those guys haven't been great, but have been servicable. Others like Fister, Vargas and Lee would form a really solid top of the rotation.
i remember disagreeing with NW last year about going all in for a guy like stanton.
but now I agree completely with that kind of thinking. it would be different if this organization had shown they could consistently develop mlb hitters, but they haven't.
