In years past, I always made fun of the proposed future lineups that were all prospects (Patterson, Hill, Choi!), but [expletive] it, I absolutely want the entire 1-8 to be home grown. Screw free agent bats
Seriously, though, a lot of people had speculated lately that prospects were becoming overvalued and someone should take advantage of that. Of course it's Beane. Not on this board
Blue Jackets lost a bunch of 3rd/4th liners today. My fear is that they want to be the youngest team in the league for the same of being he youngest. Outside of the Hartnell trade, every move has been about shedding 30+ players. They've made no indication that they'll spend money, either, so I don't see a ton of improvement for next year
