Very thoughtful reply.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 Dec 2025 19:27 pm I would wait until spring training to give him a grade moves are made at the winter meetings but also a lot of ground work is laid for trades at the winter meetings that aren’t made until later in the off season. So just because he doesn’t make certain moves at the meetings doesn’t mean he hasn’t set the ball rolling for multiple trades later
lol yea gold fan was whining and complaining about bloom comparing him to Mo because he hadn’t made any trades as soon as soon as the season ended then bloom trades sonny the next day and suddenly he’s back on the bloom train againramfandan wrote: ↑06 Dec 2025 19:34 pmVery thoughtful reply.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 Dec 2025 19:27 pm I would wait until spring training to give him a grade moves are made at the winter meetings but also a lot of ground work is laid for trades at the winter meetings that aren’t made until later in the off season.

I have a sneaky feeling with knee jerk reaction types that we will see letter grades by some after each and every transaction.
Yeah remember getting a chuckle from that. Complaining and following day boom. Now watch if no trade by Bloom on Monday more complaints of Bloom doing nothing and Tues. Comes a big blockbuster deal by Cardinals.

Seems premature to grade him then. He could get the framework to later trades started during the meetings.
These are meaningless until you actually see the draftees perform for a year or so.
