Destination: The Show. Episode 16 (with special guest Tom Froemming)

Very possibly the best episode yet!

TONS of great perspective from everyone.

I admit to also having concerns about E Rod. He's SUPER TALENTED, but there's enough questions to be concerned. But we're also talking about a very young kid with a tremendous ceiling. I agree that 2024 is probably going to define his potential more.

I really, really don't want to move either Lee or Julien, though it could happen. Really hoping for something similar to Gray or Lopez kind of deals where we don't have to move the future for a solid arm. Hoping the depth in the system, and on the 40 man, can net a quality arm.

I keep thinking Polanco, Larnach, and another top prospect, or two, not in the top 3 works.

The breakdown of Festa, Raya, and the collection of CR arms was very insightful. 

The whole "pitching pipeline" discussion was great. It's begun to arrive already, with additionsl dividends on the way. Loved the comment about "some" believing the pipeline was supposed to mean 5 ACES in play already. Had to laugh at that. What wasn't mentioned was how Cleveland's "pipeline" was similar to how the FO has already been doing business. Most of the Guardian's arms were acquired from other teams, rather than just being draft choices. 

Just awesome!
