Wilson, Wright and Drake were all drafted pre-Duquette. I guess you can say he didn't release them or trade them away.

DD's personnel did develop them though.

It's nice seeing our young pitchers get seasoned at AAA before reaching the bigs.

I don't know who deserves the credit other than the players themselves, but we're talking about more than drafting guys with talent. Four pitchers, none of them our our most heralded prospects, were brought up when there was a need for depth in both the rotation and the pen, and all have have performed pretty well or better at the ML level. :clap:

When was the last time something comparable happened?

Wilson, Roe, Wright and Drake all getting it done today. This team would be in a world of hurt without them.

It was just a couple of weeks ago, the OH was hotly debating the Scott G comment about being 6-7 major league arms in AAA, able to step up, if needed.

The majority at the time, didnt agree.

      Erceg vs Seranthony Dominguez

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      None of them. Not a single one was good. And none were particularly good before they got here. IMO, it was not the right/proper approach to make a bunch of moves around the margins for this team (or even last year's team to be "honest"). We had real holes and needed real players that were actually good (i.e. like Tony's orginal example Erceg). Based on his last few seasons, it wasn't hard to predict that Kimbrel wouldn't be effective through the course of an entire season and into the post season. It wasn't hard to predict regression of Cano based on how his the last 3/4 months of his 23' went (adding that to that fact that he is a contact pitcher pitching in high levarage situations). It wasn't hard to predict that 22' was an outlier season for Perez and that largerly he is a mediocre reliever. And so on ... Obviously, there is no one single pitcher that can replace a Bautista (maybe Miller?). But Elias was very ineffective in building an effective bullpen for 2024. That's honest.

      That team was              2024 7th RS                           2nd 9 BA                              3 5 K’s                             8 2 SLG                          1 101 OPS+                    118   Imagine that team playing in this park now? I know how bad they looked yesterday. Not denying that.

      Does anybody "have" to pitch today?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We literally do not have any elite relievers. I trust Eflin more than anyone we have in the pen as long as he isn't struggling.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By GoldGlove21 · Posted

      He is having a down second half so maybe 1/6th of his career. I do think this makes him harder to extend now. He will likely want to play better to get the best contract, but the closer he gets to free agency and if he bounces back, the number rises quickly.  For me the issue with Adley is on offense and a future in which he needs to DH or play first. Just not enough offensive capability at this point to justify that contract. I do love Adley and I also think he is hurt.

      I feel like this lineup compares to 2016 in the sense that it's a home run or nothing. Otherwise, yes it's a different organization and we have a chance to be a playoff team for the better part of a decade.
