    So, as always, we’re in your reality, where externalities have no correspondents, the narrative is what produces the best feels, and we impute only the most charitable motivations and actions to the organization until the logical inconsistencies demand a blood sacrifice, at which point we blindly and blithely vilify an appointed whipping-boy.

    You used a GM statement to counter what my thoughts were. You invited that into the conversation. Why should I have to rationalize it when I don't think that GM speak should ever be taken literally?

    Why should you have to rationalize anything?

    The idea that the previous administration planned their entire rebuild around three teenagers hitting their upper-tenth likelihoods is patently absurd. So you’re right, if you really believe that, we shouldn’t ask you to rationalize anything.

    Facepalm, indeed.

    Those kids were excelling at a high level when they were 17. Uncharacteristically high that projects well moving forward historically.

    But please...continue.

    How many players at 17 years of age performed so well at the appy league level? Anyone care to pull up some comparisons for players and juxtapose it to what Albies/Acuna did?
