Good depth guy is pretty valuable. Should be able to make the big club in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they apparently announced some cuts a little out of order to the guys they added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will start to replace roster depth with quality upgraded talent (hopefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much difference you would see at AAA between a great and a poor farm system. I figure it goes something like this: A good development system delivers 2 major leaguers per season. Lets take a simple 2:1 loss rate at each level in the minors - that's four serious prospects need to get to AAA each year, 8 need to get to AA each year and 16 to A ball. Since between a 20 round draft and the internation signings a team does take in maybe just under 32 new players each year - so 2:1 math at each level works out pretty close to the overall system average. So, long story short, most of the guys at AAA are still going to be organizational fill and hangers on with no chance of making the majors. That's going to be true whether it's a lousy system sending one guy to the majors each year, or a great system sending 3. The impact at AAA is still isn't that big a part of the roster. I suppose in a better system the failures might be better - i.e. more 4 A players? Edited August 12, 2023 by gehringer_2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can expect that if Harris keeps up his penchant for cruising the waiver wire? Of course if they become a better team waiver opportunities should decrease and then the churn at AAA would slow down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Toledo with an 8-4 win. Keith 2/4 2B. After scuffling a bit getting his feet wet at AAA for a 607 OPS for July, he has found his footing with the turn of the calendar page - 951 OPS so far in August. Lipcius and Nevin also with HR in that game, Wenceel with 2 BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
