It is already been pointed out on here how FA pitching signings often don't pan out. The injury to Ohtani just proves my point. Bloom needs to get his head out of his a.$$ and acquire some YOUNG COST CONTOLLED POWER ARMS. If our farm system is so great he needs to package some of the excess SS's he has drafted and trade them for TOP pitching prospects. It is so much easier to add 2B and OF types through trade and FA than it is to add top young PITCHING talent. Much cheaper too. Give your head a shake Chaim !!
this might be the post you have submitted that I agree with more than any others. Keep the payroll as low as possible while keeping the team somewhat competitive.
sorry not sure what you mean? Poster basically said that 24 other teams drafted positional players which is 4x the number who drafted SP. I merely say that there are 8x the number of positions other than P so his argument is not really sound
not a good argument given that there are 8 other positions on the field but if you are ok with Bloom bringing in the next -Kluber, Hill, Richards, Wacha, Paxton, and any others i have forgotten then so be it.
I did not say that the Sox farm was not on the rise. Hell that is really all Bloom seems to care about. I wonder where the Red Sox would rank if the list was based solely on P prospects. I would suggest somewhere between 25-30th
