  1. It's hard to argue there is a total system failure when they have a .500 record, having played mostly NOT their weak divisional foes so far. To be clear, it isn't an acceptable level of success, IMO, but it isn't a total system failure. They also have the 11th rated farm system, and are about to add three top picks to that. The system was MUCH worse when they took over.
  2. Gallo and Kepler should maybe be backups, or DFA'd. Just because they are on the roster doesn't mean they should be. Taylor 100% should be a backup. Castro? Utilty backup. Buxton clearly can't play the OF right now. I mean, I don't know how anyone can argue those are starters and they have lots of depth. They have a lot of players, but that doesn't mean they have good players......And no, no one is trading for Gallo or Kepler or taylor, not more than a PTBNL or cash considerations. Contreras isn't a MLB player.
  3. Rooker has not been good since April. Every team needs a representative....
  4. The lack of analysis here leads me to believe he wasn't snubbed at all.
  5. Sabato and Cavaco help answer that for sure....... And Rooker. But you're right, we don't know
  6. Trading is part of development, if you trade guys in your farm for legit assets. Tampa and Cleveland do this often, two teams everyone here compares them to.
  7. I'm not sure Teel is a reach, exactly. He's what, 7th rated? Higher than Lowder.... I'm taking Clark if he's there. If not, assuming the three top college guys are there, I go with Teel, Dollander, or Lowder.
  8. What outfield depth? They're starting three guys that need replacing, none of which are under contract next year. They don't need a starter. They aren't close to contending, no way they should be buying.
  9. Miranda is up for injury reasons. The offense is the problem. Have to start someplace, and they have options for RF. I get you hate rookies.
  10. I'm guessing Kepler plays thru the break, alas. I just don't get it
  11. Take the elite prospect. It didn't work with Rooker and Enlow.
  12. He was back on the injured list after a collision, not for his arm. We think
  13. What's odd? The saints have AAAA and MLB players facing AAA pitchers. They should score. Not that I love the roster decisions, but this idea that AAA pitching is anywhere near MLB keeps coming up
  14. No corner only bats that are plodding.... and have one tool
  15. I don't think he's at best a number five starter....ymmv, of course. Unless you thinka number four is supplemental. How many pitchers, realistically, should a team develop to the majors in six years, two of which were the pandemic? I mean, no one drafted in the last two years should be expected to be in the majors....
  16. No I wasn't interested before the year started, now it's not even a consideration at all.
  17. To be clear, Cleveland trades for guys, as does Tampa. I'm sorry, but they deserve a ton of credit for Ryan. No one in baseball thought he was this good . Also, are we just assuming Varland is bad now?
  18. I'd be shocked if he didn't have surgery in September. But at least they are finally putting him where he should have been all along.
  19. You want me to list every player ever? That post was in response to a post listing who they developed, that didn't include Arraez. Context. It's about context.
