And you're in the shortsighted do dumb stuff crowd, We get it.
-
Which is achieved by developing and keeping your premium talent. Not trading it away on a flier for a 5% increase in your chances.
-
So now YOUR "window" includes the last 50 years? I thought your window was the Burnes/Woodruff era? Keep moving those goal posts.
-
If by the "bites of the apple theory" you mean the draft and develop process that is responsible for this "window" you keep pining about, then yes.
-
Not even close to what I said in terms of squiring talent, but keep making things up. I did say so, so has everyone else and this is EXACTLY how they got into this "window", by drafting and developing. Glad you are starting to see the light. I mean, who so you think drafted and developed the guys we have now. This is the definition of nonsensical.
-
Yep, that is the Brewers world and it probably won't change. The Dodgers and Braves will spend themselves into better odds. The Mets tried and proved going down that path doesn't always work out, the Padres are another example. As someone else pointed out, acquiring Soto, Hader and others only moved the Padres needle about 5% last year.

I have. Develop talent and stay as competitive as possible for as long as possible.. That is the plan. Others have spelled it out as well. Ignoring is bad doesn't make it not true and no, I've not used one single strawman.
-
But that's the point. Your using hindsight. When Burnes and Woodruff were top 100, you didn't know they would be what they are. Now we have what, five guys ranked higher than Woodruff ever was and Mis ranked higher than Burnes ever was, but no way those guys turn out to be anything at all? And quit with the strawman arguments.

More Facts!

Not remotely true. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean others don't have other opinions that counter yours. Again, under your philosophy there would be not Burnes and Woodruff to watch walk because in your world, you trade prospects for "needle movers". No Woodruff, No Burnes, No Williams, No Frelick. You have yet to address this little hole in your whole argument. Again, the plan is to develop the talent they have which at this point looks to be more substantial than at any other point in the teams history. Sounds good to me.
-
that isn't a response, but yeah, that's kinda how it starts, LOL.
-
Then he would have moved the needle for any team, yet none of them acquired him because the price was so steep that not one single team thought it was worth it. He was never really available.
-
The issue is that they wouldn't have this window at all under your philosophy. You would have traded Burnes and Woodruff and any other prospect worth anything to "go for it". You're playing both sides.
-
That would suggest they really aren't all that available then.
-
Opened Pandora's box with that one.
-
Didn't miss the third one.
-
Productive out I guess.
-
I'm convinced we could resurrect prime Babe Ruth and he'd hit .209 with a .697 ops.
-
We CAN'T do crap with it.
-
Meanwhile our offense gets dominated by any old jobber with a pulse.
-
I just don't understand how our pitchers go from cruising to blowup innings just like that.
-
Playing form behind again.
-
Needlessly.
-
Dont like this matchup.
