Roger, I especially appreciate your overview of the Dodger's recent PD history. That's the kind of info that I can't keep up with, so thank you for giving us a macro view (when we so often have a micro view).
Great stuff. I particularly liked the analysis on the Dodgers farm system. I’m so tired of the gushing of the so-called pundits. Dodgers keep making deals by trading prospects. The vast majority of whom have done nothing. I’ve wondered if the over-hype plays into that.
Also this: “ And I do think, in general, the “passivity” question is a reasonable criticism that can be levied against the Giants at this point. The organizational philosophy, which comes straight from the top, really accentuates the value of taking walks, and I do think there are some players who get caught up in chasing them a bit more than is good for their development (to some degree, I feel like this has been the story with Marco Luciano the past couple of years).”
Been thinking that’s the case for awhile. Nice to get some affirmation.
