Dojji's idea is not bad at the outset though, considering his injury history. I'd be down with that initially.
-
CEra sucks.
-
They are gambling on Paxton either way. If they are going to sell, trade him, if they want to go for it, keep him. I don't think the argument can be made that this team is better without Paxton in its rotation, regardless of the injury caveats.
-
That's a silly argument and y'all should drop it. To quote the great Morpheus: What happened, happened and couldn't have happened any other way.
-
How ironic is it that his nickname is The Big Maple? You know, the opposite of frail.
-
It shouldn't be an argument that being able to add regular contributors from the farm to the MLB roster is a must to be able to create a sustainable contender. The economic landscape in baseball isn't what it used to be, as salaries have exploded while the league punishes teams for lavish spending. Also, the best teams in the league over the past 5-7 years (Dodgers and Houston) have adopted exactly this model. Gotta copy the teams that clearly have the formula for success.

Why doesn't he post here anymore? Also, why do you follow scrubs on twitter? -

Old timey humor folks. -
What if there are no nice SP's available?
-
Absolutely surprising considering the scouting report and what I'd seen in the minors from him.
-
Never have, never will.
-
Your take on the upside of this pitching staff is, well, very generous. Your visual aids seem to be tinted with a pinkish hue.

Triston Casas watch: Season slash line: .247/.351/.466 OPS: .816 OPS+: 117 My homeboy is in the 80th percentile or better in the following statcast categories: Avg Exit Velocity 86 Max Exit Velocity 86 HardHit% 81 xwOBA 87 xSLG 83 Barrel % 91 BB% 94 Chase Rate 80 Pretty cool huh?
-
That's a skill. For all of the flack DD gets for trading the farm, he's been able to keep most of the prospects who develop into good players and trade away the duds.
-
Why do you put your quote above the post?
-
That's what we need to see if these guys can do. But trying to diminish praise for a sound drafting philosophy is also a fool's errand.
-
What is common sense, the Red Sox fan asked?
-
Want a list of all of the pitching prospects that have busted with Tampa, LA or Cleveland?
-
Who is Josh Beckett? Who is Chris Sale?
-
Miss Theo every day.

With all due respect, something tells me you don't really have a grasp on the actual valuation of the current farm system, or why they have assembled it the way they have. MVP is absolutely right in regards to player development by the way, pitchers are a very risky proposition. It's better to develop hitters and sign elite pitchers while trading for your above average guys.
-
No, I personally would not be surprised, but I bet you'd be surprised to know it's not really that simple. The CBO determines draft strategy, resource allocation and helps develop the draft/IFA board. Let's not diminish their impact.
-
No, I would not. I would negotiate as he enters arb.
-
A bunch of guys would end up HOF or HOVG if they hit their ceilings. But as you know, that's not usually what happens. Bello's framework and tools for being a great starter are there, health permitting. But is he coachable? Will he take well to trying to improve his fastball? How healthy is his arm? Lots of questions.
-
I want this team to produce a sustainable contender, and I like the work he has done reworking the farm. Because of increased parity and a harder climate to gain a competitive advantage or exploit inefficiencies in the market, I give the edge to Bloom over DD and Ben, who is my least valued GM that I don't actively dislike.
