We are in an unusual situation in that we want to win now (and are winning now), yet we also have a lot of good prospects that need playing time. Those two goals come into conflict somewhat, because almost all prospects struggle out of the gate. But so far, we have been able to win in spite of Adley, Gunnar, GrayRod and Westburg struggling somewhat at first--and now that they are over their struggles, they are all core players. There will be more pain as we try to work in Cowser, Holliday, Mayo and Kjerstad, and it's possible that some of them won't work out. But the potential payoff is huge, and as long as we are winning I'm willing to put up with some young players struggling this year and next. -
I'll be honest, I didn't remember that. I could swear I saw him in a box score last week. Oh well. Hard to keep track of the amount of players Elias claims and then loses on waivers. Well, Mateo can play some centerfield in a pinch so if Hays went down, I guess they'll just have to live with Stowers hitting against those tough lefties and play left field. -
I’d rather watch a prospect struggle then Cedric Mullins get 4 at bats a game. -
I actually like this idea. As far as cost. The Mets are covering most of his salary. By the time he came to us, I think we'd be on the hook for about 4 Mil -
Several articles referenced on here lately have offered up that the difference in talent level between AAA and MLB is not small, and that MLB is for the "big dawgs". I think we have seen that with how some of our prospects have struggled, and it has definitely changed my mind in thinking that all of our top MiL guys are going to be superstars. I'm not going to say who I think will or will not live up to some of our expectations, but I have definitely tempered my enthusiasm for some.
