I see about 10 teams currently. This is a flawed team that is starting to get exposed. Bad/inconsistent starting pitching and pen.
I understand and respect how Harris approached the deadline. This was not the team to go “all-in” with.
Agree circumstances will factor in, but hard to see them not being a contender and likelihood of resigning Torres seems very remote. Even if they do give him the QO and he accepts, no one is blocking him at SS.
Closer to home, HS draftee Riley Greene had 792 AB’s at age 21, prior to getting called up.
We can produce plenty of examples for both ends of this debate, but we should all agree that there is no set number of AB’s required for every prospect.
