Its reminding me of the movie money ball if you get my drift ...
Billy doing something no one has ever done , in the conference room with scouts and trying to make a roster to replace players they lost to free agency , everyone shaking their heads not understanding Billy's theory on getting on base , they all thought he'd get fired but it worked out for him , I don't know if it's working so well in baseball anymore but that's another discussion .....
yes falvey is trying something different on this piggybacking pitchers in development stuff in minors , they're not letting pitchers throw many innings or pitches in the minors , and I'm not sure it's working at the major league level , i see no stamina in the starters , swr , slim reaper , Matthew's maybe is an exception ...
Ohl threw two innings tonight through the lineup 1 time , got bombed 2nd time through the order ...
Falvey has been a follower of how baseball operates , he and baldelli haven't been good at thinking outside the box , will this be sucessful , so far I don't see any success except in the minors ...
Baseball has always been , develop starters and develop relievers , I don't want a team of all relievers , I want starters that are bulldogs , give me the ball and let me pitch types ...
They haven't had success in developing homegrown starters but have finally had success in developing homegrown relievers ...
You catch my drift ...
