2018 WS bound?

As Luis Severino delivers ace-like performances and the BP has been rebuilt I think things are almost set for next year. We have had many calls for Cashman to trade for a starting pitcher and I have been against doing so. We all know we could USE an Ace type pitcher, I just don't see the NEED for one.

A balanced team is a very hard team to beat, by that I mean; good defense, pitching, and timely hitting will carry the day, more times than not.

We have a chance to make the Play-offs this year without adding another pitcher. 2018 will be the Year we make a hard run at the WS. We have players out with injuries this year, If they can come back at pre-injury (or better) performance and we dump one/two contracts (CF/LF) the team will have all we NEED for a well balanced team.
