June 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) They didn't get their marching order from the owner. The front office made a decision to filter more money to the pro side and ignore the development side and it showed. We still haven't hit on the equation or solved the problem as we can not produce good hitters and really need to evaluate what is going on their from a development perspective. The hard thing is, it takes a long time to see if changes you made from a draft to development perspective were the right or wrong decisions. Is their some luck in the process, sure, but over time, it is a skill. Some franchises are better then others and that is to their credit. They put guys in the best position to succeed and get the most out of them more often then others. you can say all that, but it still has an element of luck.

June 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 12:11 PM) you can say all that, but it still has an element of luck. I just think they picked bad players. In 2004 they had 7 picks in the first 89. Fields, Lumsden,Gio, Whisler, Lucy, Liotta, Hansen. Gio turned out great for another team after trading him twice. All the others were pretty much junk. Not even replacement level players. That, IMO, is bad scouting.

June 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) Paul Dejong if we're looking at a college bat. a great player Ill st, is a cat and 3 b .... which will he play. nice hit tools.
June 9, 201510 yr A lefty power bat wouldn't suck, but who the hell knows. Probably about 10 minutes away from the 4th round pick being announced.

June 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) Should be way quicker then that. Chalmers is off the board. They are still taking about a minute to a minute and a half between picks today. Tomorrow is when it becomes rapid fire.
