Agree that the rotation has been a problem.  But this is still a rebuilding year.  I have no problem letting Mitchell run out there for at least 20 starts; heck they are spending 13 million on him and what's the downside a higher draft pick in 2019?  Clearly, with the signal that Quantrill may be promoted in the not too distant future, the team is using this year to get the "first wave" of SP prospects ML seasoning and seeing what they have already on the big club in Mitchell, Perdomo and, would've been, Lamet.  Ross is gone on or before The Deadline if he continues his present course.   Might bring back a decent piece similar to Olivares in quality/development arc.

Makita is concerning.  He's like Despaigne with weaker stuff.  Wonder if he can be optioned.

Hand and Lyles will be fine.  They did have a hiccup the other day, but on balance are doing what they are expected to do.  For some reason I feel like Green has been mishandling Hand.  Seems to be in a weird usage train every time out.  Could be due to the team's poor play and lack of save opportunities.
