Both are 21. It seems Eldridge is more advanced. Bloom seems to have fortified the starting pitching prospects in the organization. His focus now should probably be adding a young power hitter. Unfortunately, trading Donovan may be be the primary avenue to do that.

If I were choosing, I'd rather have Eldridge. He would be much more expensive to get though.

What happened to your Dominguez and Lagrange from the Yankees trade?

It's good to see some other CT posters are seeing the need for Bloom to now focus on bringing in some offensive firepower.

I can tell you in 5 years. Remember can’t miss guys like Carlson, Walker, Reyes? The you had Carson Kelly future star catcher. Then Knizer. Where’s Hence? All prospects. Prospect means, cross your fingers.
