Adams, also not an MLB pitcher

Voth-Adams.

You don't have to check the box score.

They aren't the only ones

 

The Dodgers’ development program is second to none. They have several top 100 prospects every year, and develop these 11th round picks into MLB caliber talents. We all wished Falvey was the guy who could do that here. I don’t think Zoll is that guy either. 

[LakesPibble]

Well they brought in Adams to show they actually are trying?

Almost 100 pitches of Voth.  sigh.

The Twins had 11 chances to draft Wrobleski in 2021. None of the 11 they took ahead of him currently own positive WAR in the majors. The last guy (their 11th round pick, 3 picks in front of Wrobleski) they took a guy they failed to sign.

It’s not just payroll that makes the Dodgers much, much better than the Twins in recent years.

But we got Fedko in the 12th so let's call it even

I'm guessing Voth knows he's gone tomorrow. 

But, 2 weeks MLB pay.

He earned it.

Bunt for a run when you're up 6-2 ... I hope the Dodgers locker room gets infested with crabs.

Would be cool if he was. My family knows his high school and college best friend’s dad. But he doesn’t have it at this level.

The Chuckie Robinson game. Only the Twins...

Bell has more RBI then Ohtani.

"What does he throw here?"

Something in the zone, hopefully...

It's not just that either.  It's the International pool money we traded away for Banda.  It's nothing against Banda, but those are the players you can sign for $50K and potentially hit a home run.  Andrew Friedman going to the Dodgers has been like a cheat code.  His experience in the Rays organization spotting talent out of necessity just enhances their ability to stay on top now that Friedman has the funds to fill the gaps when needed.  It also helps because they don't give their rookies a lot of time to figure it out.  See Outman and Lux.  They looked good for a while.  Once they didn't, they were shipped off.

I said to myself whatever you throw - duck.

My bad. It was irisman that said that, which is what made me post what I did. Apologies. 

I apologize as well for being an ass

Adams owns Ohtani

Good night for Adams

[BillyBallLives]

I blame @krink.  He promised itching powder in all their shorts, and I don't see the reaction of a team with itching powder.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The Dodgers investment in their front office, analytics and scouting is second to none in all of sports. It isn't just payroll. I can't stand them but they have set the bar incredibly high.

Right. It's a lottery ticket, but that's still better than Banda. You didn't win with Banda....

And the guy they drafted before *that*, Ernie Yake, was a college player with apparently so little potential that they jerked him around at every level in the minors (short stints at AAA where he actually seemed to hit ok) rather than invest development resources.

And yet... there's Kyler Fedko, David Festa, Pierson Ohl in the 12th/13th/14th round

I don't get it.

Meanwhile the Dodgers had a hit and miss 2021 draft, with their #1 and #2 picks far from paying dividends as yet.

Looks like I placed this bet. It's a loser.

I once bet on Jeff Gordon to finish in the top 4 of a race. One of his front tires fell off on lap 45. I lost that bet also.
