The entire point of the rebuild in terms of building depth is that prospects have a large fail rate and that we had nothing in the organization so we needed to build back the depth and just hope 2-4 of them pan out long term and that would be a major win.

But to elaborate, i really like a lot of those guys we have acquired. Best case scenario is 2 of them develop into top of the rotation guys while another 2-3 are competent major league rotation pieces and you have a really good chance to make this a quick rebuild because you have a really solid rotation under team control for a while to go along with position players like Brinson, Anderson, and maybe JT for the next 3 years or possibly long term and then also other potential starters from the position player prospects like Diaz, Harrison, Sierra, Devers, Torres, Miller, Nelson, Dunand and then if you get a really solid core of team controlled guys ideally you can sprinkle in smart free agent signings to fill other holes rather than our previous strategy of not developing prospects and then making stupid free agent signings on average players for star money.
Whether it works out is an entirely different question, but im a process first guy rather than a results first guy and for the first time in over a decade we are finally going about building this roster in a way that is sustainable for the market and is smart from a business of baseball perspective.
