Do we *really* need another prospect pitcher that will never spend more than a few months in the majors? darn it all, we need *some* position players. We have absolutely none in our farm system. ****, I thought Montz was one of the only potential major league fielder/hitters we had in the minor leagues and we DFA him? This team is in serious trouble in a couple years because there is nobody in AAA and next to nobody in AA and A aside from pitching, pitching and more pitching. We draft pitching prospect, we sign other teams failed pitching prospects and every trade we make off our major league roster includes pitching prospects. I know you can't win without good pitching and you need several pitching prospects to yield on major league pitcher, but seriously, when you have nobody to field/hit anywhere in the farm system, what's the point?
Now we just blew one of our only emergency... Actually, our *only* emergency minor league catcher that could be called up if something crazy happened to our catchers, and one of our few position prospects on... Another pitching prospect. I realize you have an extreme disparity between signing pitching prospects and position players, but I can't recall more than one or two position prospects we've signed/traded for this season, and most of our high round draft picks went towards pitching. Nothing against this kid at all, maybe he'll be great. But I do have something against a probably-not in exchange for losing our only near-major league ready catching prospect.
