  1. Springs spent a year in the TBR bullpen. He was converted into a starter the following year and had a career year. He blew his arm out at the beginning of the third year. Seems like a normal Rays progression?
  2. So far, Bloom's drafts seem to be better than the previous era of drafting. However, it will take time for a real review as you said.
  3. Xander's wRC+ was the worst since 2017. It's just confirmation bias. You see someone doing good and you remember when they were on the Red Sox. You forget all the people that either continue to suck or do worse.
  4. It's "fine." The overall picture of that stretch is UGLY. We haven't seen the dividends from Bloom's drafts either. Maybe they all flame out too?
  5. If I'm the Pirates, I'd probably rather have Bloom than Ben if I'm being honest.
  6. Ben got another chance, but it took a little bit. Bloom will probably get there again just because he was able to build the farm system back up. Someone will value that.
  7. Notable pitchers taken in DD drafts: 2016 - Groome, Shawaryn, Nogosek 2017 - Houck, Scherff, Crawford 2018 - Feltman, Ward, Politi, Fernandez, 2019 - Song, Murphy, Bell, Walter A very mixed bag and no high end arms aside from Song and Groome who didn't work out. Development issue? Draft issue? Casas, Espinal and Duran seem to be the only potential everyday MLB guys that were drafted in those 4 years. Espinal maybe? The drafts from 2012 - 2017 were pretty horrible in retrospect.
  8. Moreno is a cheap mother f***er and isn't getting rid of Minasian until his contract is up. Bloom is probably a better fit for a smaller market like KC or OAK/LV.
  9. The major changes were getting rid of a hitting instructor they had for only half a season. "Don't. Stop. Me. Now."
  10. As long as Crag doesn't go 20 for 20 on pitchers in the draft, I'll give him a shot. Will he elevate Romero to GM? Or is he going to chose someone else?
  11. Who would take Rendon for even a portion of his salary?
  12. Sacrifice defense for overall better players. Also, Casas will be much better at 1b this year.
  13. They interview in alphabetical order and then stop once they hear a good pitch.
  14. Let's collect more players that can't earn their salary!
  15. Carlos Hi Ho Silva. That was a belly laugher.
  16. Trade Verdugo to the Marlins for De La Cruz.
  17. "Uh, Theo didn't tell me you spoke with a doggish accent..." "I wuv too!"
  18. Ben the Boob can't get anything right! That's why he should just be a coffee boy!
  19. I spun the BTV wheel and came up with Refsnyder and Romero for O'Neill. Fine...
  20. Bailey didn't seem to get much out of the SF guys. Breslow is a "push velo" guy. We'll see if the combo works?
  21. What if he says they'll be "pawesome" like a talking dog would?
  22. Does that move the needle at all?
