That’s the hope. That’s why I think trading Contreras was the right move. There was nothing to gain by keeping him. Now we have a ml pitcher and 2 other prospects.
“Dobbins could end up being a good get. I don’t expect greatness but I’m hopeful for consistency.”
Yeah, I prefer Dobbins to Fitts. And Fajardo to Clarke, who just injured himself opening Christmas presents. In fact, the longer I look at Yhoiker, the more intriguing he becomes. Best teen twirler for the Birds in a decade. (Flaherty at 19 was developmentally about where Fajardo was this year at 18. Both excelled in Low-A, but Jack had more durability, Fajardo more raw velocity.)
I disliked the Sonny Gray trade, but Bloom gets a robust B+ for the Contreras deal.
Well dobbins is like most any young pitchers, a question mark. How will he come back after injury. Is he injury prone. I for one am looking forward to see how it plays out. Along with the other stories
