2 hours ago2 hr What a putrid OF, goodness. There's no way we win more than 70 something games imo. Mead, we all saw it, guy has zero tools. Stupid target last year. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by chitownsportsfan
2 hours ago2 hr The biggest problem with the OF is I really liked the Austin Hays signing. So he will suck.

Stupid target last year.I'm surprised at this honestly. How do you not at least give Mead some run after you targeted him just a few baseball months ago? This move really shows the inability to scout and target the right guys for this org. To give up on the guy that quickly is pretty shocking.

Stupid target last year.Hill and Peters both make the roster. Getz has been in the org in a GM role long enough that he should have been able to develop a fourth outfielder better than the likes of these bums.

Some models having him as under 2 WAR as his peak for a career, while others seem him being a + regular.

2 hours ago2 hr 1 minute ago, chitownsportsfan said:Optimistically you'd say they quickly acknowledged a mistake. But yea.Mead actually showed a bit of power this spring between the WBC and Spring training, and power was always his only ++ tool.I didn't like the trade at the time, but I would have liked to give Mead some run this year to see if he could tap into the power he had pre-injury.edit: Keeping Bene and Hill over Mead is just not serious baseball. I know that Mead isn't an OF'er by trade, but get flexible with your org. Bene and Hill serve zero value or purpose to this org. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Look at Ray Ray Run

2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, fathom said:They need to stop just looking at old prospect rankings and do actual scouting.How about this; stop trading with the Dodgers and Rays thinking you're going to tap into something with a player that they couldn't. Let's start with an organization like the Rockies and work our way up!
2 hours ago2 hr That roster looks pretty sad but what do I know... I've never been head of player development for an MLB ballclub.

1 hour ago1 hr Everyone says the outfield is the worst in MLB. Maybe so, but it will get worse if Colson strikes out 50% of the time, forcing them to move Acuna to Short.
