Re: 5/2 - 5/15 Game Discussion Thread
Absolutely get that. My point is that the Braves are going through what the Cubs did and are only in year 2...it isn't fair to expect the Braves to complete this turnaround in 12-24 months. I think it's nothing short of amazing what the Braves front office has done since November 2014 in taking what was one of the worst farm systems and making it a top farm system. Now we just have to see if it pans out...
A lot of teams always wait too long. It makes the process much longer and eventually they lose patience and kill it.
Padres are the most recent example."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

It actually has taken longer to catch up NY than I thought it would...for the last 5 years I keep expecting them to fall off a cliff and it doesn't happen. So far this year it looks like it might be finally catching up."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

Re: 5/2 - 5/15 Game Discussion Thread
There were opportunities for soft reboots in the last few years and things we could've avoided I guess if we really wanted (Ellsbury being one I wish we did), but with A-Rod signing for 10 in 07, and Teix and CC still on the books for this year and next, there was never a great chance for a true rebuild. Im also not sure Cashman is great at building a farm system, we haven't really gotten a ton of hits out of our system other than Cano. Phil Hughes was a hit for Minnesota I guess.Originally posted by G PericoIf I ain't got it, then I gotta take it

What is this? Four homeruns for the Yankees, and we're only through three innings.

It's almost like they couldn't find a pic of him and just threw that up there. I base that on also having the MLB logo behind him as well.
Still, shouldn't he be in a Blue Jays uniform there?Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
