No.
I have always wanted Albies at SS to be honest.
It is only right that we replace an amazing SS from Curacao with an amazing SS from Curacao.

Seems like playing both at SS until 1 makes us move the other was the better move imo

I've always been in the "don't sleep on Ozzie" camp, and I still think there's a reasonable (if small) chance he ends up at SS. I'm not worried about Swanson, but I think we should pump the brakes on comparing him to Larkin and Jeter.
Overall, though, our farm looks great right now. A couple of the position guys (notably Peterson) have stepped up, and the young(er) pitching looks as deep and talented as we've dared to hope. The only high-profile guy that I'm concerned about is Newcomb, and he, as noted upthread, has shown flashes.

Yep in only 4.1. Needs to be going 6+
And not walking a guy every inning. Common theme for all the major pitching prospects, and none of them have really made any progress.

On tv tonight, they talked about wisler. Said he was working on certain things in his start last night. Any chance we send our guys out on starts working on certain pitches in certain locations or something like that and it hurts their walk totals? Probably reaching
I think that they are always working on something, and they are always walking people. It doesn't matter what they are throwing and missing the zone with because they are going to have to be throwing those pitches for strikes at the MLB level anyways.

I think some of it is just bad luck. His minor league peripherals compare favorably to Trae Turner. Difference being Turner has a high babip and Swanson's is relatively low.

That's what we want. Some won't make it.
Better than Wrenn where we'd say they have great control/command but no stuff.
100% agree on the strategy. Ready to see it starts paying dividends and it should over the next few years.
Drafting all the pitching early certainly looks like the correct move at this point.
