Originally posted by emkayseven View PostBA compared him to Victor Robles. Fangraphs compared him to Albert Almora. I think Almora is much more likely. Even still -- to get a solid everyday OF who's a 1-2 WAR player for less than $5M isn't something that happens anymore in the free agent market. Considering his age, then the potential upside in his game, and THEN the fact that they'll market the hell out of him, that's absolutely fine by me.

Originally posted by fish16 View PostFWIW mlb.com now lists VV as our top prospect. 18 out our top 30 prospects according to them have come to us since the new ownership group took over.
Apparently VV signed for 5.25M, VM,j for 1M

Heard he is 5'11 200lbs and Victor Jr is 6'0 190 but projected at like 6'2 220+ which is why people think he might be a 1b

Originally posted by fish16 View PostGaston signs with the rays for 2.6. Poor orioles, they are a complete and utter trainwreck.
2.6 million is way to much for Gaston but TB had cash to spend so can't fault them. Better to get talent then be sitting on cash like BaltimoreLast edited by tjfla; 10-23-2018, 09:51 AM.

No surprise as Baltimore is a trainwreck. I hope Miami starts going the TB way when it comes to IFA from now on. Sign 1 or 2 TOP Guys/Get extra cash and hit the IFA Market hard. Gonna be weird in 2020 when Miami is connected to tons of 16 yr olds!!!

Miami wanted him but couldn't get more than 2 million and Gaston wanted $$$$

Originally posted by fish16 View Postgood for Gaston though, he ended up getting the same amount of money from the rays that we were rumored to give him back before the PED test. Rays farm system is absolutely loaded for the future. Franco will be the top prospect in baseball by 2020.
Miami is wanting to follow this model(well minus trading guys at highest value). Use ALL of the IFA Cash every year and draft BPA

process is always more important than the end result in terms of team building strategies. Given what we know about building teams in modern baseball, this team will be a winner given time if they stick to this plan of focusing on minor league player development, spending in the draft, and actually being involved in IFA.
