That may have made the difference between winning the Division or not.Guardians traded for OF Jo Adell from the LA Angels for catching prospect Jacob Cozart who became the No. 16 prospct in the Angels system.Getz had a few catcher prospects to make that deal. Instead Getz went for Doyle.I suppose this, like almost everything else that goes wrong, can be blamed on JR and the lack of the financial support promised from Ishbia. Or , more simply, the lack of urgency to win the Division this season leaving this very good team just short of the Guardians.Holmes for Carlson- Yikes!I heard an interview with Guardians blogger that they didn't touch the top 20, or arguably their top 30, prospects in their trades. They have depth (and we don't).

They need to get that Latin American pipeline moving really quick because I bet that's where a lot of the prospects Cleveland has are coming from. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by almagest

Again this year, it's mostly low-slot, funny-delivery guys. I get blasted for questioning the White Sox drafting guru, but Sox drafts are heavily dependent on Shirley's talent evaluation, which often differs significantly from consensus.
