You're a clueless troll that can't answer a question

Answer the question you fraud

Why is a minor league system so important if the ones that have the great ones never win on the major league level?

Royals future > You team's future

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

David Robertson is in any conversation for best set up man in the game
----

BWAhAHAHA!!!

It's not 2011 anymroe Dirt...time to wake up.

Watch baseball some time dude

 

[gener8tr]

David Adams has EIGHTEEN CAREER AT BATS...


And "El Nuno" has two career appearances... One being a 3 IP, 4 hits allowed outing vs the thunderous Astros in mop-up duty... The other being 5IP vs the fucking Indians.. "BRILLIANT START"

I'll say that again..


5 IPs vs the Indians... "Brilliant start"

Umm, the Indians have won like 49 of their last 50 or something.

someone in here is doing this:

 

[Down38st8]

6th straight time pretending I never said "I wonder if Cargo hitting a HR that wouldn't have otherwise gone out except for being at coors has any affect on his OPS+"

I've responded to this repeatedly....

Cargo, in the past 3 years, has hit exactly 1 HR that could qualify to your claims above...


and his career road OPS is 40 points higher than Gardners....

I'm not going to go too far with this one...


But the 2007 Red Sox and 2008 Rays say

pretty sure it was the combination of "brilliant start" and "5 IP" that he was mocking...


NY homerism at it's best...when is 5 IP "brilliant" The same time david robertson is in the conversation as best middle reliever in baseball.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

i dunno the rays have a decent farm system...and
occasionaly do well

The Rays are the exception to a lot of rules

Can I get the Top 10 minor league systems from 2005

Id like too see how their Major league club has fared

Thank you

 

[Uno]

organizational rankings put them in the top half of the league
----
And include IFA's, so using this to defend "drafting" is flawed at best....


half or more of those players that put them there are draftees...
----

half are not, so using this to defend just drafting, is flawed at best and very stupid.



what the hell does one draft pick have to do with any of that?
----

If he's been good at drafting, you'd think that he'd have uncovered a couple of players of significance....name the best...defend your claim, tangibly....

austin jackson

brett gardner

You already told us Josh Beckett won the Red Sox the 2007 World Series

You may wanna shut up

which is why his road and home OPS are so close



oh wait

doubtful I can find it that far back....and it's irrelevant...it won't prove that cashman has "drafted well"....nothing really would, except evidence of players he's drafted over the years that disprove that theory...

None have been provided.

Never had a bad word to say about Francona, and you know that.

Dude was the best analyst in baseball before un-retiring.

Sox dont get Beckett without Hanley Ramirez and Anibal Sanchez

farm system products

and they dont win without beckett, they don't even get past Cleveland

I don't know where the Sox farm system ranked in 2007, but for the years leading up to it and into, they produced quality........not quantity, but quality

not sure this completely fits this farm system vs. production discussion

but im saying it anyway!!

to spite JD

 

[Kate Upton]

Which GM drafted Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, Homer Bailey, signed Johnny Cueto off a banana boat, and gave up nothing in trades for Brandon Phillips and Bronson Arroyo?

Hint: Nobody thinks he's a great GM, evidenced by the fact that he was fired, and hasn't been offered another job as GM.

Yeah

And teams that draft well have what to show for it?

That's the point

Bashing a GM for something that means shit

Makes sense
