Around Baseball 2022

I think all 4 of their homegrown pitchers were international free agents. I see what you mean man, and maybe I’m being a downer here but they’ve sustained success WAY beyond that at this point.I think a lot of that first wave or two are gone at this point.

 

Also, the jays might get there but I expected us to be farther along in this particular area by now. We still could get there tho.

 

Of course we can, it's starting to show it's teeth, pitchers take a long time.

DBacks was right. Swanson is better player than Bregman.

Good drafting no doubt, but those guys were spoonfed.

That sound off the bat was something else; blasted to the sun.

Dude, at the chin, dig in and pump a bomb, lol... special. I wish I hadn't traded him in LOD.

Would not be surprised if that thumbs broke.

Honestly, I feel like this backs up my point and also doesn’t, springer and Correa are gone. Most of this team was built when they were good and/or via international FA or lower rounds of the draft.

 

However, they did get Tucker at the tail end of those high draft picks which has helped massively.

 

I personally see the Cubs and the Astros as opposites. The cubs tanked, built position player depth and then traded for pitching and bought it. Won a World Series but could not maintain the pipeline. Houston did all that but then also produced a ton of home grown pitching on the tail end and kept the whole thing going. I

Agreed, they did well, Toronto's turnover is just starting.

DBacks was right. Swanson is better player than Bregman.

 

Swanson 13.4 fWAR, Bregman 27.6

Since when does “is” infer pst tense?

It’s relevant if he’s saying the d backs were right to draft him. Which is what was said or heavily implied. What else does ‘dbacks was right’ mean?

You heavily implied that on your own. I got “the Dbacks were right after all”

[Dagagad]

But they aren’t right after all. Bergman has produced more value since he was drafted.

Amigo, you’re turning an off-the-cuff comment that’s meant to say “haha, any being trolled for so long for passing on Bregman, Dansby is now the better player” and turning it into a debate of who has had more value since they got drafted

I guess…

 

I don’t see how there is any other way arizona could be right but whatever.

[connorp]

Now you can be a no fun sourpuss and reply like you and jincuck did and there’s nothing with that, but the spirit of the post is what I said

[connorp]

And if anyone says anything about the lame name “jimcuck” that I stole from someone, I will refer them to the many, many times I have been called connorpee:)

I’d still take Bregman over Dansby right now given the choice. Dansby is over performing by a wide margin

He was speaking off the cuff man, come on!

I also don’t disagree with that. Not a lot to be spiking the football but does seem Bregman is on the downturn
