@JulianGuilarte1@YankeesBall95@jared_golds23 If by top prospect u mean back half top 100 prospect, sure, but lombard is worth 4x what thorpe was worth. Also Warren is probably worth more than King was worth when u factor in control. Brito and Randy were borderline top 10 org guys and higgy was basically a non factor in that
@YankeesFiles 9th in population by itself and most people think of Fort Worth as a part of Dallas which ranks 11th.
Personally id say LA, NY, Miami and Chicago. If u asked a non American whos unbiased to a region I feel like thats what they'd say
@RyanGarciaESM Asking a guy who dosent make contact to pull the ball in the air more which means you have to make contact sooner, giving yourself less time to recognize pitches, further exacerbating an already huge problem.
@RyanGarciaESM what does a trade package even look like? I see people emptying the farm but I dont think it would be as much as ppl think. Compare it to the soto deal. Warren/King + Lagrange/Thorpe + Cunningham/Brito + Cebert/Vasquez. Obv would do that in a heartbeat
A skubal trade to me looks like Warren or Weathers + Lagrange + Cebert + Cunningham. That probably isnt close to getting it done, but I tried to build smtg close to what the soto package was
Dylan Cease and Freddy Peralta both are pitchers who ik are good, but I would hate to have to watch them on my team. Aces who average like 5 innings and walk hitters up 3
