He's been pretty good for a guy that didn't pitch in an actual game for two years. He's not all the way back yet, I bet that takes the whole season, but the way he's pitched has been very encouraging. This team gets just two halfway decent hitters next year with Skubal-Olson-Mize and they should be a contender.
The voice of Lou Brown sayin "We might have a couple of All-Stars" is in my head.
The only thing in the way of Skubal being THE Cy-Young favourite is Seth Lugo, and based on his career, I think his pixie dust will start to run out soon. I don't think Skubal has peaked yet. Just stay healthy, young man.
Is Olson a current version of Jeff Robinson or Willie Blair with the out-of-nowhere great year? I think Mize could be as good as Petry in his best years. What about Jackson Jobe? It sure doesn't seem like he's on pace to be in the majors before 2026. Glad it's a hamstring injury and not his arm, but even before that it seemed like they are babying him a bit. I just feel like they should go ahead and pitch him and if he needs TJ - then go ahead and get it now.
