Your thread was fine. It was a narrow topic that was better suited for Aroubd Baseball, but it didn't break any rules. Unfortunately the tone for the thread was set by the first few responses, and the mods deleted it. s*** happens.
Kratz is weird. Everything we know suggests at least a competent backup but he's never really been given a chance. Do players still slip through the cracks?
I don't know how much they also lean on scouting, but all of those teams have excellent analytics groups that they give a lot of weight to, by all accounts.
Can I ask how many teams you think would be better positioned going forward than Cleveland if Cleveland announced today that they would have a $150M payroll?
