JoeC Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 kind of nice to see the team climb out of the basement on this, basically entirely buoyed by Montgomery's ascent as a prospect. Hopefully Project Birmingham proves effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've traded A TON of talent the past couple of years. The fact that they are still 28th after all of that speaks how incredible their farm system was.

Timmy U Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I’m kinda shocked the Cubs are 10th. I like Pete Crow Armstrong well enough as a glove first, bottom third of the order cf, but I was never a big Brennan Davis guy. I’ll agree Alcantara is an imposing specimen, but the results in A+ are meh. I see a lot of depth, but where’s the impact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slightly above average but expensive roster. Maybe they should have just held onto all the prospects instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Fried Quantrill Gore Lauer Brash Patino is short for a rotation Trea Turner Luis Urias Ty France J.Naylor R.Mateo CJ Abrams O.Miller Mejia Hedges Grandal Margot/Mateo Renfroe F.Reyes their bullpen would be awesome though...I covered all this in the Preller thread in great detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be one favorite team for everyone to root against...and cheer for the Brewers and Phillies. If they come up short, Preller will be out and Melvin maybe gets one more chance to turn things around in 2023. None of this will be good for Hahn or LaRussa, which most fans obviously won't lose any sleep over. Of course, they also have health and suspension issues to excuse their Underperfomance at $230+ million but not entirely missing the 12 team postseason after massive personnel additions at the deadline.

In Wasserman's defense, he was a dark horse who came out of nowehere. I believe the big league team faced him in an intrasquad game and basically were forced to give him a chance.

The Kids Can Play Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 What is sad is the fact Cleveland is 27th and Baltimore 30th in team payrolls as opposed to the Sox 7th. Both Clev and Bal have winning records and good chances at the playoffs. 2022 Team Payrolls Sox - 7th - $196,720,283 Guardians - 27th - $66,165,861 Orioles - 30th - $43,462,824 Great job Hahn and FO on drafting and developing your players!

He came out of no where and kind of had a junkballer delivery which fooled people for a while IIRC> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Dodgers #2 farm system, #1 highest payroll and # 1 best record 86-37. The Dodgers go recruit Andrew Friedman from Tampa Bay, the former GM of the Rays. He built a winning yearly playoff team for years at TB, with topically one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. Now as president of Dodgers and the fact he has all the money in the world to spend, he still somehow didn't forget on to draft talent and develop it. As was stated in another post by someone here, let's go steal a TB executive, since TB has been winning consistently and making the playoffs without Friedman. Or secondly, perhaps we steal one the executives from Andrew Friedman's front office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or secondly, perhaps we steal one the executives from Andrew Friedman's front office. I think Chaim Bloom will be available! Personally I'd go after a Braves FO. I think most of this board was a fan of Anthropolous in TOR, but then he learns in LA and takes over in ATL has pushed all the right buttons. Granted, he didn't build ATL up from scratch. But ATL is the one other org you can look at and see a successful version of what the sox can be. The Rays can't be recreated exactly with the sox, as they get additional top 40 draft picks and an extra million in INTL money every year. The dodgers have a front office probably 3x the white sox, and an easy $300 mil. But the sox can look at the braves and be like "why the hell are they so much better than us so often" and should be embarrassed. We have similar revenue (or did before battery park), similar competitive rules, and have been way less competitive for the last 40 years.
