We got rid of some good Prospects, yes, but what we didn't realize is we had squat behind them. That ranking at that time was off when we had Moncada, Benni, and Pitcher we sent to Chicago. Our Farm hasn't developed a Pitcher in years. I'm talking a Clemens like Pitcher. Positional Players were OK, not great but OK. Pitching, Jackson is right were many years behind.
To keep competitive Henry will have to spend, for Pitching.
That's OK, but you have to put all your resources to develop, while you are paying Free Agents. Dodgers are the best at this.
