I just love "what-aboutism's". The original plan may have been to ship off one of our depth pieces but instead of paniking when the market wasn't right, he stood pat. That is a smart move by a GM and it has paid off whether you want to give credit to him or not. You mention trotting out Suter as if he is the only pitcher we can try in that spot. It isn't and it sure as heck doesn't justify any pitching acquisition from this past offseason as just about every one of them have been terrible. He is just getting first opportunity to hold it down. If that doesn't work, Stearns will reach into his deep pocket of pitchers and try someone else. Smile, he is doing a good job. You mention a lot of other scenarios to try to make a point and whiffed. I'm really sorry that it upsets you that some want to give credit to Stearns for building a roster that has withstood some injuries already but hey, we can all have different opinions...
