If the goal next season is to throw 140-150 innings, I rather they start him slowly and then step on the gas down the stretch. He is way more valuable in September than in April.

 

That said, and given Sandy's condition, he has to start the season in the rotation but limiting his innings per start to 4/5 innings, and skipping starts whenever possible. There is no doubt Eury belongs in the 2024 Marlins' rotation, but he must be handled with care.

 

As of today, I'll start next season's rotation with Luzardo - Cabrera - Garrett - Eury - (Rogers/Weathers), just because I like to mix LHP-RHPs between starts. But this is something we will talk about for the entire offseason since we all know this rotation, despite its potential, is rather undependable.

I strongly disagree that September wins are more valuable than April wins. And MLB agrees with me. In terms of ranking teams for post-season eligibilty, under MLB rules April wins count exactly the same as September wins. You bank the wins as early as you can. For 2023, if we did not have a strong first half, we would not have made the wild card. Our post- All Star performance was horrendous.

One thing the article omits, that I am curious about is his injury. Is it the kind of thing that may recur and may need surgery or one off and relatively minor? In other words, can we really count on Eury in 2024?
