I know but wouldn’t it be fun to have a huge home grown talent on the team?
Harper was good. Trout probably was the best till Shohei / Tatis / Vlad came around.
Bryant was great but the team needed more then him or Javy as a building block.
Tank for 4-5 years to collect prospects.
No more half assing things.
Should have left Darvish if you wanted to contend.
Should have traded the whole team if you didn't want to contend.
This lineup you posted does not look good compared to other teams dude.
STL should be a better then they are now and the Brew Crew will be good for a while as well with their pitching.
I also think that going half way into anything isn't a good either in a sense of draft picks.
The Team is winning a bit lately but they've
1 Traded away Darvish who has a 1.75 ERA this year last year
2 Can't re-sign Bryant who probably would like to go somewhere else at this point
3 Rizzo as well considering the negotiations so far
4 Is Javy even worth resigning?
5 Contreras needs to be...
Good or bad in your mind.
I think you can see it 3 ways.
1 Team wouldn’t have gone anywhere even with him
or
2 He might have turned the team around
3 He was an aging pitcher and the risk was too big to keep him anyway
What do you all think?
