@BenBadler Another day of the prospect report with no NYY. However, you always find ways to highlight the Red Sox and many other chosen teams. The only touted prospects that seem to be keepers are Anthony and Tolle. So with all the ink it turns out their system isn’t very good.
Replying to @schadjoe
Over many years Marlins ownership has pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue sharing without spending a dime. And ownership has always sold the team for a profit. The issue is not a cap but bad undercapitalized ownership like Lurie, Huizenga and Sherman, con men all.

@totally_t_bomb Your metrics need an adjustment. There is no way you adequately accommodate for Michigan which has been great late and close all year. That’s a skill. Great late offense and D. Great coaching. No way Wisconsin, who lost to Michigan twice should be 13 spots ahead.
Replying to @DDuggan21
@DDuggan21 You’re getting so close to it. John Mara and the Mara family have had no idea how to run a football team for seven decades. Every hire he has made fails. I am pleased Schoen and Daboll are staying because I do think they are reasonably competent and stable.
Replying to @DDuggan21
@DDuggan21 The Giants weren’t good for 20 years in the Young era. They were good from 1984-91 because they had two of the greatest coaches who ever lived and LT. Still not blaming ownership. I have lived through all of this and it’s Mara. You haven’t and you think it’s Schoen.
Replying to @DDuggan21
@DDuggan21 I remember when the Maras traded Sam Huff, Fran Tarkenton and Fred Dryer for nothing. The Mara family drafted WR Eldridge Small in the first round and played him at CB. Had 1 career int. I remember 72-41, 17-12, 39-38.

@martinonyc Fantastic book on Cashman. Unfortunately his player procurement, development and roster construction has been poor for most of the last two decades. The fact that he and his team believe they have done a good job is alarming.

@slmandel Well let’s just wait to see what the indictment says. Oh wait they are just leaking allegations before the investigation has even begun. There is no pretense of due process here. Destroy their reputation and smear them before the results of the investigation are known.
They are still thinking Rortvedt is a major league player? Still unwilling to admit defeat from the Donaldson trade? They could have optioned him, DFA'd one of the nameless veterans relievers they scooped up during the season, and brought Wells up.

@ChrisKirschner Not enough attention has been paid to Mike Fishman. His hand has been in every decision for the last 17 years and I would argue most have not turned out very well. Their philosophy on players is poor, drafting and international signing have been poor...
Replying to @ChrisKirschner
@ChrisKirschner I realize the draft is a crapshoot, but the NYY drafted AA Wells the pick before Bobby Miller and two picks before Jordan Westburg. They also drafted Solak a couple of picksbefore Alonso and Bichette. I realize they have traded a number of draftees,
It's just really early even though they have played 25 percent of the season. They have only played 3 games against the 7 worst teams in baseball. They have played a bunch against the three first place teams. They are a game out of the WC.
Grimes played only ten minutes. Obi who was 4-11 from three and might have been their best player sat most of the fourth quarter. The Knicks offense consisted of Brunson and RJ driving into a clogged middle without kicking. A one hundred percent Thibs show.
Replying to @ChrisKirschner
@ChrisKirschner NYY player selection and development, major and minor league under Cashman has been poor for a very long time. Very few young players get to the majors and once there guys just don't improve.
Replying to @RobTannerLCFC
@RobTannerLCFC Since there are so many players out of contract and so many with only one year left isn't it easier to rebuild in the Championship than it is in the PL? Other than a one year financial hit, their wage bill will be a lot lower and....
....they can buy inexpensive younger players scouted by Glover. They will sell Maddison, Castagne and perhaps others. So I guess the question is given their current state, other than a blow to their collective ego, why is dropping down a level the worst thing?
