The amount of high level starting pitching available in free agency is unparalleled in MLB's history.
Harry Schulte
1 Cy Young, 4 All Star Teams, and Rookie of the Year and only 31 years old. Schulte is capable of throwing 250+ Innings with a sub 1.20 WHIP. What else could you ask for? Max Salary coming?
JJ Woodward
1 Cy Young and 8 All Star Teams. While Woodward isn't a spring chicken anymore, he is still an elite ace who can anchor a rotation and is in for one more big payday in his career.
Bernard McClung
3 Cy Youngs, 7 All Star Teams, Rookie of the Year, and a Perfect Game. Another dominating ace capable of throwing 250+ IP and putting up gaudy stats. Another max salary candidate.
Plenty of other quality arms available at different parts of their career like Todd Rusch, Bernie Bush, BJ Howard, Hooks Meacham, and more.
Reviewing the positional players reveals a much more mediocre crop. That could mean depressed spending on positional players while driving up the pitching or it could also find some average positional players getting locked up to contracts above their pay grade. Time will tell!
