Best not to be buyers. Better to lose as many games as possible from here on out
-
You don’t walk a .190 hitter. Fitts gives it up
-
Nobody’s going to take Yoshida. He’s all ours for the duration of his contract.
-
We aren’t getting Diaz. I doubt we’ll get anyone of significance. Maybe a #5 SP.
-
Runners on first and third-no outs=no runs Disgusting
-
To illustrate the point I took a radical example. If you like we could use something more realistic but the point remains that higher draft picks generally have a greater chance of being more talented than lower draft picks. Therefore, if you're not going to make a reasonable run in Oct why not obtain the most talented picks you can in preparation for the upcoming years?

Hicks walks the tying run
-
Hicks isn’t the right guy for the 9th
-
I’d be bringing Whitlock out there
-
I’ll say when the game is over!
-
Out
-
Duran Ks on a ball at eye level. What is it with these bums? No plate discipline at all.
-
He was lucky. He had one good outing after a lot of awful ones. You can’t run him out there every fifth game if you want to maximize your chances to make the playoffs
-
I don’t think they could even get bubble wrap for some of these guys….Boohler, Wong, Yoshida…
-
Narvaez Ks on a ball at eye level Hes burnt out
-
They gotta take Boohler out of the rotation.
-
No such luck
-
One more run and I’m calling it over
-
Boohler stinks. I wish the FO would stop this dumpster diving crap
-
I’ll take the higher pick since that player is more likely to be more talented. Not a certainty by any means- just playing the odds.
-
Obviously you have to make good draft choices. The fact of the matter is that draft picked 1-5 are more likely to be high level contributors than draft picks 150-155. I’d rather suck for a few years than enjoy success than being mediocre in perpetuity.
-
If the team is going to have as a likely ceiling of sneaking into the last playoff spot vs finishing lower in the standings and likely (but not certainly) selecting a more talented player who will improve the chances of being competitive for many years I’d forego the prospect of mediocrity in perpetuity for a more promising future. Delayed gratification and all….mediocrity sucks.
-
Would you agree that IN GENERAL the higher the draft pick the better the chance that the player will be productive?
-
The goal is to compete for a ring. Generally the higher the draft pick the more talented the player. That’s why higher picks get drafted higher than lower picks. I’d rather the Flops pick higher than lower if there’s not much of a chance the team can compete for a ring. Wouldn’t you?
-
Think it’s overly bleak? Check the standings.
