Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

As long as you keep adding names to the tally.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

I will say, some of those guys you were mentioning, even Kerstad, I know it has not gone the way anybody would have planned.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

Heston Kerstad had a higher ceiling as a prospect than any of these names we're going to talk about now.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

Jackson Holliday certainly had a higher ceiling as a prospect than any of these guys we're talking

Um, so it's been interesting to me and I might write this up someday is like, we're seeing a lot of recent draft picks get traded because the teams aren't fully bought into their development yet.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

Other teams are totally okay acquiring them because it is so early in their development curves.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

They're not fully formed of like, Oh, we're going to have to fix this.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

It's like, no, you're still new.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

We can add a pitch.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

We can,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

change how you set up in the box.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

We can get you into our philosophies really early.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

It's just been really interesting to see teams so willing to trade guys that they signed a few months ago, but those reasons I was just talking about.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

They are desirable by other clubs, so trade them while you can, I guess.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

Yeah, yeah.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

I think that it is certainly flashy when you can attach a number like that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

And that's, I get it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

That's also what we do with prospect rankings, right?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

Like when you can say he's the number 15 prospect versus the number 11 prospect and everybody freaks out of like, what's the difference between four spots?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
What To Make Of All These Prospects Who Were Just Traded

And sometimes we have to come in here and be like, it's not as big of a difference as you thought it was.
