And I literally just compared/posted ACTUAL stats of all the guys you mentioned. Sorry I just don't blindly buy into the list. How dare I question anything. -
Here's Tony's take. Basallo has a strong arm for sure. ABS may help him more than hurt him as a C. I tend to think he sticks at C even if it's a bat-first type. Perfect to pair with Adley for a couple of years. -

How so? Qualify it all you want, but the trade was made. To me, I'd rather have the guy who makes the right deal, not just the first available deal. And I'm fine with them not being able to outbid the higher market teams, keeps them out of ugly contracts. It doesn't mean Elias is without means to compete, just look how competitive TB has been for years in a smaller? market. -
I think it’s too early to say. He’s still young and inexperienced. His bat is ahead of his glove. That doesn’t means that he can’t develop into a solid defender. He has a very good arm and by all accounts is pretty athletic. But it’s an open question. As to Vlad Jr., he is pretty athletic but his weight restricts his mobility, and that’s getting worse. He won a Gold Glove in 2022 and the defensive metrics had him about average then. He’s deteriorated from there. -

Not putting words in your mouth. Basically every post you have made is dismissing the evidence being provided to you. You either don’t want to hear it or don’t think it’s valid. Not sure how anyone can read what you have said and come away with a different thought. -
Detroit Tigers won the FA off-season and were the media darlings heading into 2022. Baez is an albatross like Chris Davis. It takes more than simply payroll. Our major signings were Lyles and Odor in 2022. Gibson and Frazier in 2023. I think we all prefer winning actual games vs. projected games. And the trade for arms thing has actually happened. Even a CY caliber arm. Any trade is a value proposition. Team control of cheap, young talent has value even for the big markets. Especially if the goal is a perennial contender vs. a competitive window. Bumping the odds in a short-term window (while maintaining the long-term perennial contender strategy) can be done with lower tier prospects (ala Burnes and even Flaherty IMO despite the 2023 results).
