And then there was his trade for Dominic Fletcher… Or his trade for Bailey Horn that netted him nothing… The Braves won the Bummer trade. We are left with four bad players and one older relief prospect. His only truly good trade was Grossman for a relief prospect. I like the Cease trade. Thorpe has looked awfully good for a rookie on an awful team. Iriarte looks good. The reliever you mentioned looks good as well. As I mentioned elsewhere. He was stuck with having to have a core of Eloy, Moncada, Benintendi and Robert which sunk the last regime. I'm willing to see how he does once he dumps them and gets to build a team. I also like many of his FO hires. Edited July 28 by ptatc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it looked great at the time… Getz took a 100 loss team and made it worse, while wasting time on bad vets over give kids ABs in the bigs. But they owed it to fans to not waste time in turning things around??. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe has been ok, but it’s not like he was traded for a bad asset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a top 10 org prospect at the time of the trade…he could have been used on something other than Dominic Fletcher. If it’s true we had our choice of him or Jake McCarthy, then Getz & Barfield missed massively in their evaluations. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getz should be pleased Santos has been injured, as Deloach and Berroa have been awful. The draft pick was underwhelming IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Fletcher can’t even get a long look on a 120 loss team. I’d rather ride with the kid that’s been young at every level over giving him away for a 4th OF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s true we had our choice of him or Jake McCarthy, then Getz & Barfield missed massively in their evaluations. True, per Nightengale… Quote – The White Sox had their choice between outfielder Jake McCarthy or Dominic Fletcher for Diamondbacks pitching prospect Cristian Mena, before taking Fletcher. Certainly, they relied heavily on the advice of assistant GM Josh Barfield, who was the D-backs' former farm director. And even if Nightengale is wrong, your point remains — Mena was a top ten Sox prospect and could’ve been traded for someone that was actually good, i.e., not Dominic Fletcher.

Larson is certainly interesting IMO, but he’s a boom or bust type prospect and it’s scary that’s all we have to show for Santos less than a year after making the trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he at least has an MLB future, which is more than I can say for Fletcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they insist on running sheets and Eloy and Lopez out there the rest of the season, then he just got a wonder what they’re doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut33tillman Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Atlanta isn’t happening. Top 4 in their system are all Pitchers. Would rather move him in the winter than desperately trade him to a team with no bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
