Am I wrong, or maybe remembering incorrectly? I though we were drafting for premier bat to ball skills that we could develop further. I'm not seeing it.....well, okay, I see it only up to the AAA level, but after that, we have significant issues. I'm sure some will tell me I need to be patient, but let's face it, how many of our guys are seemingly getting worse, and not better? I'm seeing regression, not progression. I see all the excuses on here about fans needing to have patience, learning curves, adjustments and how tired our guys must be having played so much during this long season. Why isn't Bobby Witt, Jr. regressing or showing fatigue? Or Jackson Merrill? Or, Jackson Churio? We had the #1 prospects in baseball the last two, or three years? Henderson, Cowser and Holliday, right? Henderson was beast for a while, but he's been inconsistent since April/May. I can't honestly say that I think he's getting better. The others - Cowser, Holliday, Mayo and to an extent, Rutschman are not progressing like others in the game are. The jury is still out on Kjerstad, in my opinion. They are not getting better as the season goes on. They are not "figuring it out." Okay, maybe I'm a bit too early - a year, maybe two from being able to honestly assess this, but I don't think I'm too early to be concerned that our guys - almost to a man - don't seem to be getting better, while I see other young players on other teams, playing just as much and actually getting better. I know it's not a popular thing around here to be negative, but please, tell me what I'm missing here? -

We won’t see Bradish next year in all likelihood. If we do, I would guess out of the pen at the end of the year if we are in playoff race. -

Doesn’t have to be a trade. Some FA on my list now: Pivetta, Snell, Nick Martinez(he’s kind of a 6th starter type guy but could be an asset either way and Andrew Heaney. Buehler is an interesting guy to take a flyer on. Bieber on a 2 year deal could be intriguing. Right now, Pivetta would be high on my list. I could see an Eflin like rise for him. -

Akin puts up great numbers when there is no pressure. But he is the least clutch pitcher in the pen. I wish we had targeted Puk or Kopech instead of hoping that Burch Smith's slipper wouldn't fall off. -
The part that really struck me was this quote: Before a recent draft, Elias encountered a situation that was unusual for a baseball GM but that football GMs deal with more regularly (neither side was willing to provide the details). Seeking counsel, he called DeCosta. The roles have been reversed, too. -

I would agree with that if there's reason for confidence that GRod and Bradish can pitch at (or near) their past levels. Bring in another established guy at the level of Elfin or even Kyle Gibson.
