This all started with the Loss of Knebel and the Then the Issues with JJ and no one was able to step into those roles. The Young arms for the rotation didn't pan out as expected. Chacin took a big step back from last season after he had a career year. The hitting that was supposed to carry this team failed especially with RISP and guys like Cain has taken a step back. DS will have to make some changes and with most of the relievers failing this season he have room on the 40 man especially when it comes to the pitching spots.
