Doesn’t matter really, but yeah I’m surprised Boston made that trade. Just to get the influx of outfielders they have coming to a spot? Verdugo has always been a pain in our *** so at the minimum I’ll take the win of not having to face him lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full draft order, minus any picks gained/lost via free agents signing, was released yesterday. Cards didn't get one again, as it should be. Guardians have a serious horseshoe up their bums. Got the #1 overall draft pick (moved up 8 spots) and also scored the third pick in Round A of the competetive balance. Reds got really lucky as well. They got the #2 pick (moved up 12 spots!!!!!) but their comp balance pick is in Round B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Degenerate?" You spend a little too much time on 4chan. Maybe you should change your avatar to a Roman Statue.

You also have to add sellout or it doesn’t make sense. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of our pitching prospects need to flame out for people to learn? Thorpe is really good. He looks like a MOR starter for quite a few years. 6+ years of that carries a lot of value and is probably by himself an overpay for 1 year of Soto at $33 million, nevertheless the others that are rumored to be included in the package. But it's the Yankees. They can just pay full market price for a MOR starter in FA. They only give an award for winning, not for winning the most efficiently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's meant to reward "cheap" owners. When you've got teams like the Rockies (Denver), Orioles (Baltimore), and Tigers (Detroit) collecting competitive balance picks for being a "small market" team.

I've seen so many of these kids pop-up and put up great stats at AA for us until they lose velocity, get injured, and/or suck. Chance Adams, Deivi Garcia, Hayden Wesneski, James Kaprelian, Ken Waldichuk, Banuelos, etc. I only give a crap about elite pitching prospects, otherwise we can just buy someone else's mid-rotation pieces. Hell, even our guys who had legitimate ace stuff like Phil Hughes, Joba, and Sevy were al major disappointments because pitchers break and our org sucks at development at the major league level.
