Yeah i mean nats could be set in 5-10 years…
but they’ve also had Harper, Turner, Rendon, Scherzer, and now Soto. Im just saying Padres have a team for the now. Soto could be the missing piece who knows…
I look at like the Rockies or the d backs who seem to be in development hell. Detroit somewhat too…
Shit the Astros have Forrest Whitley who is/was supposed to be a lights out pitcher. Taken high in the draft years ago. Kid just can’t stay healthy.
i didn't look at it like that but that's true, rendon and harper are both injury prone and the latter wasn't with the team anymore when they won their world series in 2019
i mean even stephen strasburg was drafted first overall by the nats, used to be so good but he has been a shell of himself since he got his big contract mainly due to injury, just seems that they really aren't lucky
hopefully history doesn't repeat itself in dc and they can build a decent roster in the years to come
yeah, it's a literal lottery sometimes, you see players like mookie betts being taken in the fifth round that become absolute superstars
hell, wade boggs and albert pujols were selected in super late rounds so you never know what you're gonna get
most of the players they got in the trade really seem to be very good though, especially abrams and wood
