I disagree. Given what left I don't think they have really improved pitching. They picked up some arms but we really don't know anything about the quality of those arms. They may be useful, they may be trash.

I think we should all be prepared for the eventuality that the catching rotation is currently rostered. This screams of "we tried". I just cannot remember the FO being vocal about what they want to do and then actually doing that. Big red flags for me.

Drew Pomeranz has a 163 ERA+ right now with the Brewers. 2.79/1.14/14.9 in 19.1 IP.

I hope you are right, I really do. But making that jump successfully is super rare. I think he has the talent to have a long, successful MLB career, but I'm tapping the brakes before I call him the next Brooks Robinson. It is certainly exciting to have a potentially elite bat in the system, though. You really don't need to condescend by saying I don't have a feel for prospects. The chances of him struggling in his first MLB action, whenever that occurs, are substantially higher than him coming up and immediately becoming the "3rd best bat on the team". It used to be rare but it's becoming more common by the season for players to ascend quickly through a given system. I think it's arbitrary to assume he will be a star based on his AFL performance but I think it's equally arbitrary to assume he will struggle upon promotion so he should stay down until 2020. Whether the right decision is to have a space for him in June or bring in help for the entire 2019 season, I trust DS and our evaluators to make that assessment correctly. Personally, I think it ends up being sooner rather than later. I just cant see spending the resources at that particular position.

I think it's incredibly naive to think a team would never trade a player to a team that "fleeced" them in a different trade. That would amount to a GM admitting that the other GM is better than they are and that the first GM could never be as good as the latter GM. I highly doubt ANY GM would think that and if I were the owner and my GM thought that way I would immediately fire that GM.

Lots of ways to view these deals and I'm not sure any of them are 100% wrong or 100% right. I like what they have done but my overall opinion is dependent on acquiring at least one starting pitcher. If they don't do that then my opinion will be decidedly less optimistic.
-
So every FA contract every singed is technically not "paying market" which means every single FA singing is an overpay?
-
Agreed. The lineup needed to be fixed and Stearns fixed it. At the cost of 5 prospects and $80 Million. Can't have it both ways. By definition, either they paid market or they overpaid.
-
But at the end of the day that is still just an opinion right. The facts are that Diaz hasn't played above a-ball and he was OK in doing that. Some on here hate this trade because of Harrison, some hate it because of Yamamoto, some hate it because of Brinson. That alone shows how much risk the Marlins took on here.
-
For me it's not underrating him as much as wondering if the difference between him and what we already had was worth trading 4 prospects for. I would have prefered not to have done this deal but not overly fussed about it either. One thing I do like about this is he is the type of hitter that we don't have a lot of. I'm a fan of having different types of hitters in the lineup and we were missing his type of hit tools. Completely 100% agree with you on this. Take away the aspects of the trade and I'm extremely happy that Yelich is a Brewer, he's the type of hitter I wish we had more of in the lineup. Trading 4 prospects for him is what I'm not extremely happy about. But the assumption there is that any one of those prospects is going to amount to anything. All of the players traded had some serious question marks. It was reported that Tampa turned down Brinson as a center piece because they were scared of his hit tool. Harrison has the same issue. Who knows what Diaz really is. Point is, Miami has just about all the risk here and maybe they "win" this trade but the odds are against it.
-
LOL! I’m actually feeling great about the fact that he thinks so highly of us. Eh, he spent all season telling everyone he could how bad our minor league players were and now thinks this is an overpay. I'm pretty sure he just enjoys riling people up.
-
Yeah but everyone else isn't on here beating a dead horse every chance they get. We get it, you don't like what they did. Tough, they did it.
-
Ummmmmmmm?
-
Well, you're nothing if not predictable. I'm not laughing at your opinion, just that I would've bet my life you were going to say it. To make any grand proclamations about getting taken to the cleaners is really, really silly. We'll see. I don't know how many posts I've made defending the very same prospects that were traded while Boomer told me how disappointing and horrible they were. Now all of a sudden they were overpays. Some folks just gotta.........

The Cain deal was official almost immediately after it dropped. He had already passed the physical and everything. That deal was planned ahead.
-
I think it's probably a mix of the two. I don't think you can go all in on keeping every prospect or trading every prospect. Teams need vets and cheap talent.
-
And Miami really takes on the vast majority of the risk.
-
I'd like to see Broxton go for some prospects. Braun in left, Yelich in center, Santana in right. Or Santana in center and Yelich in right. Phillips as 4th OF. Santana in CF? Oh boy, no way, no how, not even a consideration. Not now it isn't.
-
They just signed Cain
-
Yelich won a Gold Glove 2 years ago. I'd challenge that projection. I'd be willing to bet that isn't the opening day OF.
-
Which makes it a darn good trade.
-
Is this from your source or did you get it from somewhere online? Rosenthal is reporting they are still in on Cain.
