Josh Baez is our lone HS prospect that will need protecting from the 2021 draft.
Not sure on the DSL front.

I addressed the additions earlier
they could....he can't start, and he's sporadic at best as a reliever. Do you think he shows anything at all that will improve? He's a high WHIP starter and long reliever. That's not great.hugeCardfan wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 17:28 pmi must have missed that.craviduce wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 17:10 pmthat was about who is getting cut....not adding to them.hugeCardfan wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 17:09 pmChurch isn't on the 40 man either.craviduce wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 14:43 pmto expand on that....

He's cheaper going forward I guess? I love the guy, loved the pick....but I know what he is. He's strike thrower who can't hit the corners too well. And he lacks the swing and miss.
He needs a pitching academy.craviduce wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 17:33 pmcraviduce wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 17:32 pmthey could....he can't start, and he's sporadic at best as a reliever.

I don't see anything great in his arsenal going forward. A pitching lab might help...like you suggest. I expected more out of his arsenal as a reliever. Maybe it can still come together.
