The article explores the assertion made by Giants’ pitching coach J.P. Martinez regarding the team's potential to field 15 or 16 legitimate starting pitchers. The hosts of SiriusXM's Power Alley, Mike Ferrin and Jim Duquette, discuss whether this claim holds merit, given recent trends in pitcher performance. They agree that, although the team has several strong candidates, including known starters like Logan Webb and Robbie Ray, the total number of 'legitimate starters' is questionable. The importance of competition and readiness for the big leagues is emphasized throughout the discussion, like preparation and experience being pivotal for the group.
[...] it will be the first time in big-league camp since I've been here that we will have 15 or 16 legitimate starters - upper-level, legitimate guys that can start. To have that workload and that experience and to see the competition amongst that group will be huge for us.
I think their show is great. Mike Ferrin is a perfect ambassador for MLB. I interviewed him on the old McCovey Chronicles podcast.
