They got more than teel.... It's not an oops by the twins, he was one of the very few they could even try to get. It was a comment, not a criticism. I get that's hard to tell on the Internet, so I should have been more clear. It was also a comment about not drafting him.
I figured you'd have to go SWR and something for a top guy.....but that ship is long gone as far as I can see. Not getting Teel before CWS did was an ooops. But I'm told Jenkins is 10000000x the player.....
I'd happily take a good SS prospect that is a few years away instead, plus a flyer.
So few AA / AAA catchers that are high prospects that are not in the same division, on teams that want to win this year or next. I thought Rushing might be a target, but LAD just promoted him.....
This has been my issue with mlr, they ignore that the plan doesn't work for Colorado, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, etc.
It's the execution of the plan that matters. And to your point, this team seems, seems, not to trust it's own execution.
You can have his story there without giving him a plaque. And, it's still against the rules to gamble on the game, and it still results in a ban.
If he ever showed remorse and admitted it, I'd feel slightly different.
Some people scream for accountability, bit didn't really want it at all for their people.... Not that you are that way... But others are.
