Every player gets injured on every team. No one plays thru it like Cal Ripken Jr. If these prognosticators are running the numbers and come up with erod, then other players are dealing with bigger career impediments then he is. Fantasy wise, he may be the best or “they” are bad at analytics.
As a GM, you don’t just dream of having the best potential talent, you figure out a way to achieve it. Anyone that thinks top prospects are tradeable, needs to understand that it takes one hell of an offer to pry these types of prospects away from an organization. Then look at the business plan of Falvine and you will understand that top prospects stay and the 3rd tier are regularly traded regularly. 2nd tier(Chase Petty) if an immediate hole is filled (Sonny Gray).
