How long does it take you to write these? There's a lot in here!
Not sure I can make the next Callin, but if I did, I would have the following questions:
1. We all agree we need to add a starter at the trade deadline right? But it's kind of complicated I think. Ostensibly the starter would replace Kikuchi...but what if Kikuchi turns it around in his next start? Plus there's his remaining millions. Stripling replaced Ryu and he's doing great. But he's also a free agent at the end of the year. He also doesn't seem to do as well out of the bullpen. Should we go after a rental or someone with long-term control? Do we trade Stripling? It's also complicated by the fact that it's easy to get complacent when your starters are performing well, but we are just one injury away from the spectre of our frightening lack of starting depth. So what do you think is the best course of action?
2. Has there been any word from Charlie and is this typical - not to hear boo from a fired manager?
