Dodgers will need to build their future pitching staff around Clairborne, Wallace, Barton, DiNardo, and Cowell, I think, at least in terms of their current or soon-to-debut pitchers, most likely. And see what else they can find on other teams or in free agency, as well. Everybody else here who's currently on their pitching staff, I'd probably look to offload, if I could, for better players, most likely.
Once they improve their pitching, that should put them at least in the 80-90 win category, on average, for a number of years, especially once Hugh matures enough in his career. While Wallace is thirty at this point in time, he might not pitch until 40 or so, of course. By the time Hugh reaches his prime years, Wallace and others older than him will most likely be retired, and others will have taken their places on the Dodgers pitching staff.
Once the pitching is sufficiently settled for them, the Dodgers should then probably address their current weakness up the middle, if they haven't already done so by that time when it is settled sufficiently well. I'd look to try and improve them at least a little bit, if not a lot, at third, shortstop, catcher, and center field, over time, by then, if not sooner, for sure, in any case. CD out.
