I want to believe so bad. That's 3 homers in his last 6 games after just 6 in his first 91 games.

I'm sure the struggles haven't helped his pitch selection either. He's quite clearly been pressing for awhile. Despite the struggles, his K rate hasn't really changed. He's just stopped hitting with any authority. If he can get the swing figured out, everything else should fall in place.

If Ozzie comes back from the dead over the 2nd half I will never let any of you fools live it down.

My guy, the 2023 and 2024 drafts are impossible to judge right now. So far, the only bad draft was 2018. 2023 might be a dud, but it's still far too early to make that distinction. Question our methodology on having several pitching heavy drafts is valid though.

Still waiting on all the talent the Duds have churned out the last 5-6 years from their phenomenal farm systems.

You act like we haven't done it before. We ran out Soler for half a season last year. Is that really any worse?

And my point is that we're still producing talent, despite what is considered a "weak farm." If we weren't graduating guys much earlier than most teams, our ranking form year to year would also look much better. Would I like a better rated farm? Sure. But when we are producing quality MLB...

We signed Profar for LF. He got suspended. It is what it is. I will gladly blame AA for drinking the Kool-aid there when it was clear whatever money we had needed to go to RP and/or SP. I think many of us said we would rather have kept Laurenano and we were justified in that decision. JK was...

Literally won the CY last year. But you keep drinking the hater-aid

Quite clearly the point is the industry didn't rate the guys as high as they should have been, sans Baldwin and maybe Harris. If Harris and Strider both are in the minors for all of 2022, both guys would likely have been top 10 overall prospects. Schwelly would likely have been a top 10 overall...

How many of those players have gone on to have success with the teams that traded for them? Maybe they were just overrated in the first place. We traded away Langeliers, Muller, Grissom, and Cusick at roughly peak value as prospects. Waldrep is just about the only top prospect who lost...

This isn't about AA. The comment was made that our farm system is trash. I'm simply pointing out we consistently pump out quality MLB players despite poor farm rankings. You can move it to 2021 if you want more recent success.

What offensive players is that exactly? Will Smith, maybe Andy Pages? James Outman for 1 season before the league figured him out?

Jesus Christ dude. If you want to hang your hat on Schwelly not getting called up until almost June, go ahead. He is a stud nonetheless. And Drake is a stud too. Would you feel better if I changed it to 2 WAR instead? Let's see the list of Dodgers prospects since 2019. They consistently...

That isn't what was said.
