As they say, TINSTAAPP, and that's why I would not want a team to become: 1) pitching-centric; and 2) overpay for one in terms of money or player assets.
Our team has done both too often.
Sure, there is, for example, Kershaw, but he is the exception that proves the rule.
You almost have to get lucky. We can hope Pineda is an example of that, and signing CC when they did was smart. The problem is that they became the victim of the opt-out rather than the exploiter of it.
So draft, sign, or trade for one when the risk/reward is reasonable, but not at the expense of building a powerful offense.
I guess Romine is fairly worthless. Remember when "Yankee sources" once leaked that he was the reason they were able to trade Montero?
I am very surprised that Romine was not plucked by someone to be their backup Catcher. I do not think another team could send him to the Minors, but you would think that he is better than some of the older backups around the League.
There was a rumor during early March that Philly was interested. Guess not.
His stock has drastically fallen.
This is why most prospects are suspects like Montero was and you need to know who to keep and others to sell high on
Oh please, that is such a trope, but not surprising coming from you, and that could be the plural you if there are multiple anons who post the same tired stuff.
You do realize that every player in MLB was a prospect, right?
Smart organizations like the Cardinals regularly develop in-house.
The Yankees can't do that, and that's why they are in this current mess.
Romine could never hit except for a few outlier seasons early in his mL career.
And offense is the reason he can't stick in the ML. Oh wait, I thought defense was everything...
Montero raked in YS and throughout the minor leagues. He probably would have continued to do so for the Yankees if given a chance.
As if the Yankee thought Pineda would have pitched a half a season in three seasons when they traded for him.
So this is a much more complicated a proposition.
LOL...
Montero is just another guy that got traded with decent value....He couldn't catch and with a team loaded with DH's he had no place on the team. Also that guy got busted for PEDS so now if he is clean he came back down to earth.
The only thing that Montero will be raking is leaves in a few years when he is out of baseball.
You need a good balance of hitting and defense...Pirela and Refsnyder are below average gloves although Pirela is a bit better if that tells you something about Refnsyder.
Just because "prospects" can perform in the minor leagues doesn't mean they can in the majors.
Personally, I believe that had Montero stuck around in NY that his bat would be excelling, though I doubt he was ever gonna catch. I still wish the Yankees would buy back low on him.
Can't believe we spent our three first last years and three free agents. Ellsbury looked very checked out when he just got picked off.
Our vaunted D gave up another run.
That runner was going to score regardless if he got the out or not and we all know that
Pineda is nasty, but our O is a disaster.
And another bad play by the D.
LOL sums you up.
