It's getting pretty pathetic at this point, especially with how hyped our minor league system was. One would think we could at least produce a few solid position players and a stud or two over the last 10 years. Something has to change as far as scouting/development of hitters, because they're just not getting things done down there. I also think we need to change the ratio of signing pitching over hitting to be less lopsided, because what's happening right now is we hang on to pitchers too long and they end up losing value (Juan Cruz, Rich Hill), or we ship out A ball guys out and they turn into studs. The whole "we'll have a million stud pitchers and will be able to trade them for big bats" hasn't worked out.
