Speed is of the essence.
A lot of people (Pedro Grifol, me, etc.)
also just completely suck off the cuff.
That’s why I automatically dismissed the Reinsdorf quote above as soon as he missed it.
Since that presser last August, he’s done the exact opposite of trying to turn this thing around.
Case in point:
TL/DR: the newest rebuild isn’t going to be quick.
That park is going to be a ghost town for the foreseeable future and it’s their own doing.
They reap what they sow.
Doesn’t matter what level it’s at.
Not just any guy, but a guy-guy.
We’ll see if that happens with his “eh” fastball against MLB hitting.
in ~900 plate appearances!
Getz' staff will be tasked with figuring out how to reduce those gaudy swing and miss numbers.
Get him to say… around 25%?
Third piece: Jairo Iriarte
Pros:- those strike out numbers tho!!!
MMMMM MMMMHHH!!!!!!
Cons:
- those walk numbers tho!!!
YUCKKKKKKYYYYY!!!!
Probably a guy destined for the bullpen.
BUT MAYBE!!!!
He won’t be….probably.
and then we have the final piece, Steven Wilson.
Steven Wilson is a 29 year old (big league) reliever who I had never heard of.
He’s been good for about 50IP and sub 4.00 ERA relief work in SD the last two years.
That trade would round out the Cease deal.
Hope Jerry’s happy with the mess that he’s made!
Check back in in 2-3 years to see if any of these prospects have panned out.
I wish I had this kinda confidence:
