I don't think it's all that difficult. You can determine what it will take to sign guys before the draft and plan accordingly. There tends to be a little too much suspense as to whether guys are going to sign. When they went 20, the flyers and favor drafting largely has gone away.

I think selling would be better than buying. You have to be real secure in your job to contemplate it. Probably best all around to do nothing.

I don't think that punting a contention season by trading whatever rentals there are is impossible if it becomes clear that it isn't going to happen for this team. In fact, that's absolutely what a front office maximizing return for assets should do. The act of making that kind of decision...

Just my opinion but if your top three pitchers, your best player and your starting 2b all get injured, you probably shouldn't be trying too hard to overcome it.

In addition to Dodger prospect inflation I have to remember how at one point the Padres were supposedly a model rebuild for prospect accumulation and basically none of them from that specific crop panned out for them or anyone else. It's a weird thing.

To me it seems like they have drafted heavily for pitching and have produced quite a bit of major league quality pitching including an Ace and All Star along with the Nebraska kid. They have three or four guys who might be rotation piece in minors along with at least two others who are...

Are you actually going to evaluate it or are you just going to look at a prospect ranking?

It can't be viewed separately because it is all of one piece. One affects the other. The Braves have repeatedly plugged draft picks from the current regime into a championship roster and seen them perform at a competent level and traded other draft picks for contributing players. Whether...

Where they pick high level offensive prospects are generally gone.

It seems reasonable to hypothesize that he had arm trouble before it was necessary to go under the knife.

Or they could just move the draft pick down and try to win the WS.

How disappointing is it really for end of the first round? If you have two elite pitches and a starter's frame you're gone by the 20s.

Might see him as a tradeable asset they would part with.

Safe bet that most of the people you meet in Mississippi are the illegitimate offspring of someone.

It's almost exactly the same situation as 2021.

I guess maybe you could do an actual comparison of the prospects the systems have put out in recent years and it might be interesting.

To be clear, OP wonders if Atlanta should fire the GM who has never missed the playoffs. In fact, who at this point has never lost the division.

If he wanted to be a Brave, he'd be a Brave.

I think that coincides with the first sign of adversity.

Sure it does. The level of talent at bottom of rounds is lower than at the top of rounds.
