gusguyman Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Oh god, please tell me the rebuild has not gotten so bad that we are trotting out Zack Collins as a reason to be excited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Moncada nor Eloy look overmatched in the slightest and even in losses we get production from our prospects. The progress from these guys is very pleasing. Yes, it's awesome. #1 and #3 overall prospects thriving is great, especially after trading elite talent on team friendly contracts to get there, just a little tough looking beyond that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert, Collins, Cease, Sosa, Zavala, Lambert, and Flores are all off to a good start. And the most important two (Robert and Cease) have been phenomenal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Walker has looked good too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Walker has looked good too. Completely forgot about Walker. He’s been great, even if it is at a level too low for where he should be. The AA outfielders have been bad, but it’s a big jump moving to AA and it’s only April 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, Kopech & Dunning are recovering from TJS and Basabe, Burger, Burdi, and Tyler Johnson are all out with injuries. I’m not suggesting the rebuild is doomed, but AustinIllini is a complete buffoon is he honestly thinks the minors have been great this year. We’re gonna need much more than Robert & Cease to come out of our minor league system for this thing to work and I’m not sure I have confidence in anyone else at the moment. It’s very early and a lot can change, but the AA guys stumbling out of the gate should be very concerning for even the most optimistic posters here.

I just called you out for making a dumb statement about the farm system. But I guess if anyone disagrees with the almighty AustinIllini they must be a troll.

tray Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Madrigal only has 25 at bats at Winston Salem and has 5 hits. I don't consider that terrible or a reason for concern. Edited April 13, 2019 by tray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Amazing to see and somewhat ironic. I think most of us expected the pitching to be much better than the lineup going forward but it may be the opposite. Hopefully, Jerry will loosen the purse strings on what is needed going forward.

But I’m also a realist and not going to pretend everything is rainbows & unicorns right now. I know you get off telling everyone how stupid they are, but your optimism isn’t based on anything objective. Three or four players isn’t enough for a successful rebuild. Thank you.

Gio was bad last year, but he probably actually pitched to a 4.80-5.10 ERA, but Ricky's mismanagement cost him 1-1.5 runs. After looking through this thread, just excuses after excuses from you about Giolito's performance. It's actually pretty comical.
