November 7, 201015 yr We have improved a bit since firing Shaffer and promoting Laumann. Three guys have already had success at the major league level (Beckham, Hudson, Sale), another is ready for full-time spot this year (Morel), and a top CF prospect (Mitchell).
November 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (3E8 @ Nov 7, 2010 -> 08:20 AM) We have improved a bit since firing Shaffer and promoting Laumann. Three guys have already had success at the major league level (Beckham, Hudson, Sale), another is ready for full-time spot this year (Morel), and a top CF prospect (Mitchell). That's actually a pretty solid point. We know Shafer had, well lets say, other motivations. Things really seem to be improving now in terms of drafting and development. The cupboard looks bare, but part of that is because guys that would have been massive prospects are already here, like Beckham and Sale.

And another part is that we've used a lot of the "Depth" to make trades.
