There are so many different scenarios in here, hard to keep track.
It starts with pitching. 99% of the years, teams will not win with just pitching or just offense that's common sense, didn't think I needed to spell this stuff out.
I'm not wrong. If there was 1 be all way to win the World Series every team would want the same type players, same philosophies in terms of offense, pitching, and defense. Unfortunately there is not. That's the beauty of baseball.
Sadly I am, you are not. Pitching owns hitting in the playoffs. If we had Greinke, Price, Stroman, Estrada in the playoffs with our offense...compared to the pitching we had and Trout instead of Pillar.
Before last season would you trade Hoffman for Trout knowing there was no chance to win it all or trade Hoffman for Greinke knowing you had the best chance to win it all.
I dont know for sure. He is a great player. Just something about him annoys me. When I have seen him play it just looks like at times he is going half speed. Amazing player though, defense and offense.
Yep, cause I don't like McCutchen and if we traded Hoffman, it should have been for an ACE pitcher. It's about building a team that actually wins games not playing fantasy baseball.
I would love to participate. My rankings would give a little different viewpoint on the prospects. I look at how the prospect is used, what they were working on, etc...to put their stats in a better understanding. Might be a little different than some on here.
But with Hutch, Chavez, Happ, Dickey, We have too many of the same potential quality pitcher imo. There needs to be an upgrade to the rotation somewhere.
