Harold's Leg Lift

There were obviously no in house options and he had little money to spend. Who was he supposed to bring in? Who are these cheap great players with trade value?

They were only brought in to be shoved out. Why does it matter when it happens.

He's changing the organization bottom to top. It's not going to show up on the big league team yet. This organization was a dumpster fire. It's going to take some time.

A little dramatic.

Yes. I'm not afraid to draft college pitching especially when you can get arguably the best pitcher in the draft.

Griffin has outrageous tools. I keep going back and forth between him and Rainer. I'm out on Bazzana and half out on Burns. I'm not sure Bazzana stays on the dirt or how his power will translate to the next level. I still think Burns is a reliever but I'm trying to keep a sort of open mind. I will be very happy if they get Cags, Smith or Griffin/Rainer.

Cleveland is a tough one to figure out. They love their contact oriented middle infielders. Their system is littered with them and that would lean more towards Wetherholt (man some guys REALLY like him) than Bazzana. They did take DeLauter a couple years ago so maybe they go with a higher ceiling guy like Cags or Condon. I would be surprised if they take one of the pitchers but they are a data driven org and Burns is a data darling. Hopefully they take one of Wetherholt or Bazzana because that's a better chance Cags or Smith get to pick 5.

because he sucks.

Huh. Ya don't say.

The holdovers: Robert- hurt Moncada- hurt Eloy- hurt Benintendi- abomination Vaughn- horrible Lee- bad Sosa- bad Remillard- useless Sheets- good Crochet- awesome (in a new role) Kopech- good (in a new role) Banks- meh

Possible 2nd round target.

Benintendi is absolutely fucking worthless. Good lord.

They have a guy from SIU-E and Illinois starting on the bump today. I'm not sure how you could bet that but you would get outrageous odds.

vElOcItY!

Crochet, Smith and Schultz would be even better. ?

Wouldn't surprise me if they dfa him at some point.

I think they end up signing Pham. I'd DFA Pillar and bench Benintendi. At least Pham has a pulse.

Not at least. Maybe two for some guys who are young or behind like Wolkow. It was really fucking stupid to eliminate the short season leagues now a lot of HS players are stuck in between (who could've seen that coming) but there are HS players from last years draft who are currently in low A.

LaRussa looking like he can easily manage this team for 100 or so games.

Yes I think they would love if one of the college pitchers were there at 1-5.

It would be a great plan. I think they're gonna go pitching heavy but it would be nice if they were able to mix in a couple HS bats towards the top.

Absolutely love this dude's swing.

Good. I've seen more than enough of Colas. I want to see what DeLoach can do.
