Love the Harvey trade idea. I didn't realize just how good he has been over the last 2+ years -

Well if he's as good as Todd Helton was, he won't be down any list of our best hitters, unless we are employing the AL Allstar team. I'm not sure how familiar that you are with who Todd Helton was. But he was a career .316 hitter with a .414 on base and a .953 OPS. Of course he played his home games at Coors, but that is still kind of like amazingly awesome. -

I remember listening to a podcast, I think it was on Steve Cohen, where a whistleblower ran the numbers on his hedge funds and basically said that the returns he was getting were mathematically impossible. Like there was no way someone could be that good at their job. He was ignored but turns out he was right as the books were being cooked in a big way. I think about the same thing sometime with how this team has drafted, like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop because there's no way they could be this good. -
I was speaking about replicating production this season when the goal is to win a World Series for the 1 season that we have Corbin Burnes. I hope you’re right that the accumulation of talent is too big to go wrong, but I am a much more cautious. I like where Cowser and Westburg are at, but I’ll need to see it for more than 3 weeks (though I have always had less doubts about Cowser). I’ll also need to see it from others as they get promoted. As much as I believe that Mayo is going to be elite, he still has to prove it. The track record right now is great, so I hope it continues. -
A deal with Miami makes too much sense to get Scott back and also get one of their young SP. They have the worst offense in the NL and we have position players galore to trade back.
