    I would rather they win 82 also, but I don't care if instead of 82 wins, they win 72, similar to the 2014 'stros By the way, the Jays team makeup when Shatkins took over was far different than the Rays, Brewers, etc. An old, declining team with a bottom third farm. It would have been far more challenging for Shatkins to maintain a competitive team given what they had. Also, seems like Bo Bichette is the fave of the important middle aged and elderly women segment. As long as he comes up this year, Shatkins should be fine.

    I didn't say that Boxy. If you read it that way, that's not the intent of what I wrote. 91 losses didnt seem to affect Altuve, Springer, Keuchel and others, and the resulting high pick has turned out extremely valuable. A top 5 pick is far better than a 10-15 pick. So I don't give a s*** if they lose ~90 games this year. Don't you have better things to do than follow me around BJMB and insult me?

    Maybe, but 2014 Astros lost 91 games. Following summer they picked Bregman 2nd. 2017 version won the WS. Anecdotal, sure, but I don't believe there is a link between the team outcome and player developmental progress. I was searching for such a study last night, nada. Nor do I believe the 2019 win result will be indicative of future win results.

    Clearly Shatkins didn't bother signing a bunch of warm bodies in the hope of going from 70-something to 80-something wins. 2019 is being punted. Many here have said it is better to finish a good chunk below .500 than .500. Rather they beat the Yanks up repeatedly 3-4 years from now than squeeze out a win here and there against them.

    I never said they develop better on crappy teams. You are claiming a crappy team is worse for a prospect. - prospects have less of a leash on good teams, more likely to be up and down from the minors to the majors over a few years. eg. Kyle Tucker - prospects on good teams may become complacent by the constant winning - prospects will have longer leash on poor teams but may be discouraged by the losing Arguments can be made both ways. If you have proof of your claim that prospects have worse outcomes from being on crappy teams, by all means, share. You are basically saying Eloy is going to turn out worse from playing on the Chisox than he would playing on the Yankees.
