Yeah Baltimore is a good call. Though I tend to think Duquette knows what he's doing and Angelos is just a nightmare, meaning their issues are more big picture and less not properly valuing guys in trade.

 

The larger point still stands, there aren't any FOs anymore that don't get BABIP or FIP or other concepts that were novel like 12 years ago. If we can spend 30 seconds on Fangraphs and figure out that a guy has been fortunate then they're not going to be overvalued on the market.

Given that Colorado demoted Gray because they didn't understand it, how about we propose that swap?

 

I believe most indications out of Colorado are that they wanted to give him a mental breather more than they actually think he's bad now. Similar to Schwarber being sent down last year, pull the cord before he starts pressing too much and developing bad habits.

My apologies for the lazy posting. I understand that while Colorado is not the most advanced organization, they're not ludicrously stupid.

there were quotes after the draft that the FO didn't just want to draft A[l]mora, they "wanted to adopt him" or something or other, makes it hard to believe they'd find common ground with another org. on his true value
