Elias is definitely A master of building a franchise from nothing to contention. We will see how he does without his high draft picks. I have a feeling we’re in for a lot of disappointment this off-season. I hope I’m wrong.
Player A stats at AAA -- .279 / .376 / .543 with a K rate 24.2% and a BB rate of 12.5% while 22 years old
Player B stats at AAA -- .260 / .355 / .585 with a K rate 25.9% and a BB rate of 11% while 23 years old
Player A is Coby Mayo.
Player B is Pete Alonso.
That's why you don't trade Mayo unless you're getting an absolute haul in return.
Almost any player should be available if a trade makes sense. Also, there has to be a balance of wanting a 5 or 6 year window of contention, or hopefully extending the window by having some potential top tier players to bring up later. The cupboard is getting thin.
Yeah and Cole Irvin was hitting 97 in ST.
Everyone can throw hard in gym shorts at one of those warehouses when going max effort and not facing MLB hitters. But when the pressure is on you can’t go 100% effort, you have to dial some back for accuracy.
