I hope the Jays pay to keep Walker in the offseason. Ryu, Walker and Stripling would be a quality top 3 with guys like Roark, Anderson, etc. floating around all buying a bit of a buffer for the younger pitchers to make their way up. And while I really did like Williams, the Jays haven't had to give up much from their farm to flesh out their team as they have. I am impressed.

and hopefully Pearson comes of age. Wouldn't be bad at all.

No reason to not sign Walker and Ray to extensions.
Ryu
Walker
Ray
Stripling
Roark
Pearson

That is a good rotation with depth.

for what Stripling has done, not even sure giving up Kendall was worth it.

Noda's basically a non-prospect, for all intents and purposes. He grinds walks (and HBPs) at a fantastic rate, but at the cost of Ks, and doesn't have the power to make him a plus offensive player at a position where he'll need to be a plus offensive player.

Stripling was poor last year, but was really good in 2018 and 2019 in that hybrid starter/relief role. I was pretty iffy about trading Williams, but arms with good track records and team control are expensive.

Watch Stirpling have a big season for us this year as a hybrid starter/relief role like Scad said. He's looked pretty good in pre-season so far.
