Man, Mozeliak sure hopes not.
He needs to string fans along for another 3-4 years. If they're all FAs in one season, how can he possibly convince the BFIB that's he's trying really hard for another 3-5 seasons.
Fortunately, those guys are pretty staggered. [Reply]

you really think Mo survives 7 years without a playoff win? [Reply]
Thoughts on Gorman? I know he’s a few years away from the show yet but does he project more as a Kris Bryant or Joey Gallo? I pulled a rare rookie card of him and wonder if I should sell now or if the hype is real. [Reply]

He has Gallo level power, rated as high as 80 raw. High K rate at Johnson City, but good BB rate. Average at best 3B defensively. Maybe Troy Glaus. [Reply]

Pinging DJ/Hamas or anyone rise in the know......watching this player, Dylan Carson this spring. The dude looks like a “player”.
Watching him take swings, run the bases, play the outfield etc he looks like someone who has a high ceiling in the major leagues. I’ve not googled the guy. wondering about my eyeball test. Just watching the guy, he looks to be a keeper. [Reply]

I have mentioned Carlson several times here - dude's a switch-hitting version of the good piscotty.
He's been holding his own while well underaged in brutal hitters leagues. He's stayed under the radar because of that but he's going to wreck shit in the TX league this year and end up on a TON of national lists. [Reply]

He’s batting sixth today against the Nats. The game is on MLB network 1pm, 12 central. [Reply]

How's he ever gonna convince the fans that they were in it 'til the end? He'll have a difficult time selling his usual "we made a competitive offer" schlock this time around. [Reply]
