Baseball America Top 50 midseason And what it should mean to some


So for those of you have seen the list already probably know what this is about. We dont have 1 player in it. Not one. Yes i know the only guy who might have made the list is already up in the bigs and from all ive seen doing pretty good despite the fact that as much as i love him there Lyles in AAA this year to refine his game even more would not have been bad either. Another note about the list is that i am fully confident that once Springer is in the system he will be on the list as well so you could technically say we have 2 players. There is really only one other player that i think could for sure have made this list and i think we can all figure this one out too. Altuve has earned a spot here in my opininon.

But all of this is a tad bit off the topic i wanted to bring up. This is really for the people that dont want to trade. Yes i have said repeatedly that i am fine with keeping hunter but if you could get one or 2 of these guys it would be worth it. Or better yet keep him and just try to get as many by trading away guys like Wandy Myers ( i kno he wont get us one of these, might not even get us a top 100) or bourn. Our team is bad. These guys have tallent but we arnt winning with them so why are we worried about the team without them. Yes it will suck and yes next year could possibly no matter who you bring in only be a lil bit better, But our farm system while on the rise is still in the bottom 10 of the league. Another jolt of tallent added through trades might be one of the best ways to help that.

I know i have sometimes been a broken record on this front and i know some of yall are going to lash out about giving up guys like wandy and bourn and how it will do more harm then good. But it cant get much worse. Act like you have tons of faith that both or all 4 or 5 of the players that have value will even be worth having by the time the team is consistently good again....
