I’m pretty sure there were games last season (when we won 101 games) where Hays batted cleanup. It’s not like he’s a scrub.

I didn’t say he was a scrub. I kind of said the opposite in fact, by implying that him not cracking the lineup is crazy, because of how good he is and still not being able to.

They hit.  It's really insane how good they've been at getting the right guys and developing them into what we've now got. 

So which is better our scouting or are player development?

In our 10 man starting lineup tonight (9 batters + starting pitcher) we have:

#1 overall pick 2019
#1 overall pick 2022
#2 overall pick 2020
#5 overall pick 2021
#11 overall pick 2018
#30 overall pick 2020
#42 overall pick 2019

It still early but you could argue we got the best pick of the top 10 guys in every year from 2018-2022

I wish I didn’t have to get up at 5 AM to go to work tomorrow.

Lawlar over Cowser.

Meyer is going to give Kjerstad a run for the  money.

Os did better than most every year though..no question.

Folks say that college bats are more of a sure thing but look at Spencer Torkelson.

I'm not calling the guy a bust, he's in the majors, but he's not a generational hitter by any stretch of the imagination.

Tell your boss you're going to be late.

Lawlar is 4-32 with -5 OPS+. Diamondbacks rushed him!

He’s also a top 5ish prospect.  Great trade bait if needs be.

Why not  put Westburg and Cowser 3rd and 4th instead of O'Hearn and Santander?

As the saying goes …. “If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it.”

I'm glad they are on late, I get to watch the Rangers/Caps.
