And don’t throw out analytics with IVY schools considering Cash came in pre-analytics.

That's what FA needs to be tbh, a band-aid. Sure every once in a while you'll make a splash with a Cole or a CC or something like that, but you're just not going to get a good roster if you're living in FA. It's older players making a ton of money. That goes back to the lack of developing players though.I don’t think anyone is saying that though. What we’re saying is, is you (Cash/front office) when signing/acquiring players, is to track the trends of players and how they project. I do not believe they’ve done a very good job at that for a while now, and have basically band-aided things.
We have consistently had trouble developing guys at the lower levels post late 90s/Core Four Yankees and that is an organizational thing. That has to be reworked from the top on down.
Do you prefer your Dr having gone to Yale or the local JUCO?Not sure how going to an IVY league school equates to being good at building a winning Sports Team.
I don't care about the Ivy part, it's more about having a guy that's smart as **** and is savvy in running a business. Those guys just typically go high end schools.And don’t throw out analytics with IVY schools considering Cash came in pre-analytics.
In certain spots? Sure. But Bader, Stanton, Montas, Rodon, Hicks at the time, we’re looked at as more than a band-aid.That's what FA needs to be tbh, a band-aid.

Cashman went to the Catholic University of America and was hired into the organization because his dad was friends with George.I don't care about the Ivy part, it's more about having a guy that's smart as **** and is savvy in running a business. Those guys just typically go high end schools.
I think Rodon the only FA on that list.In certain spots? Sure. But Bader, Stanton, Montas, Rodon, Hicks at the time, we’re looked at as more than a band-aid.
Yea, 30 years ago. That doesn't really happen much these days. They aren't all Ivy league guys but GM's are a generally pretty damn smart guys.Cashman went to the Catholic University of America and was hired into the organization because his dad was friends with George.
Traders are also looked at through projections/trends/etc. with not much team control after acquiring them. That is a band-aid.I think Rodon the only FA on that list.
I don't disagree but we were specifically discussing FA. But I don't think any of those guy listed were rentals. They all had at least or year or more left on their deal when they traded for them.Traders are also looked at through projections/trends/etc. with not much team control after acquiring them.

There's things about players that you can't know from watching them play. You can't know their mindset and what they are looking for and why they did this and that. "I noticed this so threw that" type stuff. But yea agree it's on development staff. The biggest difference is how we handled Gray, got him away from his fastball and throwing more off speed stuff, and how the Astros handles Cole, got him to dump the sinker and go 4 seam. It completely changed both pitchers, one good and one bad. Grey was good before he got her, stunk here, now is really good again. Weird how that works.We shouldn’t have to let the players tell us what works for them. Their play before coming here is supposed to do that. It’s up to our player personnel/development to see that though.
Kinda of the small for me. Did he piss someone off to make them keep sending him back out there?I can’t help but feel bad for Sevy.
