lol... Dusty's a raw raw baseball old school puppet, everything is relayed in his ear from the 'Stros BC and analytics, they always have. Same thing goes on here with JS.
The process was fine, they did get it their way but they got lucky boys, it was almost freakish how huge them players acquired stepped up, that's what is so great about this game, there's never really a concrete answer. It could've been a disaster and noone would care as AA was in a bind. Dude's a slick exec, now though. He was good with the T-dot aside from the infamous trades that snowballed, but no denying he's a dog now.
Sign Teo to a pillow deal to come back home, man! Chappy might do the same. We need good Chappy with the stick though. His D is still mint. Schneider working the Whit role, and f*** man we just need guys to regress to their mean man, all of them and we're easily in this PS... I went off track there, who f***ing cares win or lower your heads in shame Birds.
9 outs Birds!!!

Scouting Report: Bradford works with a four-pitch mix led a fastball whose movement helps it play better than its low-90s velocity. The combination of a deceptive delivery and excellent extension makes the fastball extremely difficult to hit at the top of the zone, but he's at his best when he moves it around to all four quadrants. Bradford backs the fastball with a low-80s slider and a high-80s cutter. The latter was introduced because of an inconsistency in Bradford's delivery that allowed hitters to easily tell when the slider was coming. Longer extension meant fastball and shorter extension signaled a slider. The cutter gave Bradford a similar movement profile--albeit with firmer velocity--that he could achieve with the same delivery as his four-seamer. Bradford's best offspeed, however, is his 82-85 mph changeup, which kills spin effectively and can be a useful weapon in any count.
The Future: Bradford was inconsistent in the early portion of the season but figured it out later and got back to the best version of himself. He could fit in the back of a rotation if he carries that momentum into 2023.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Slider: 40. Changeup: 60. Cutter: 50. Control: 55
