    Can't argue with your second point

    I'm on board with that.

    Riley and Ruiz are fine back up options if your plan A blows up (e.g., I wish we had a Ruiz/Riley type instead of Elliot Johnson), but there is nothing about their minor league history that suggests you plan your future lineup with them in it.
    I don't have a ton of confidence in Riley, but come on... he's 20 in AA... and holding his own. The jury is still out.

    He's doing better than "holding his own" at that age and level - but like everyone else, I'd like to see more. If the "target year" is 2019, you've got Freeman, Inciarte, Albies, and more-than-likely Acuna as better than average MLB players. Dansby's likely to be average to a tick above. To be a legitimate contender, the pitching is going to have to improve immensely (from within as well as potentially bringing in a piece from outside) and we're going to need league-average and power contributions (at the very least) from 3B and LF - and we're a long way from getting that at this point.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
