So far I have not bought into Stan Kastan's assertion, especially if two of the best prospects since Clayton are traded. If so the team is jeopardizing longer term competitiveness for instant success. Instance success is no more of a guarantee than a prospect becoming a star. huhlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227102715926105541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-45370962458051377002013-11-07T12:59:31.670-08:002013-11-07T12:59:31.670-08:00Harold and Gary,

Theyr'e all gone now, and I suppose top prospects will be traded in the future as well. It doesn't mean they have to go that route and as Gary mentioned, Stan Kasten has promised to build from within, but it's a tough balancing act to keep the top Major League level competitive AND to build the farm. There's a reason the lousy teams get the best picks. <br /><br />Prospect values fluctuate like the stock market, but you are right about this thing...at the moment Urias and Seager are rated very high and if the Dodgers can avoid dealing them, then they should. I'm pretty certain though that Tampa will insist on one if not both of those prospects. If I was Tampa, those two are exactly what I'd ask for.<br /><br />Gary, I know, I know. No edit button. Sorry. One day I'll expand to a paid blogsite, but at the moment, this is what it is.Evan Bladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882462203403645860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-9930171958017201562013-11-07T11:19:44.090-08:002013-11-07T11:19:44.090-08:00Where's the edit button ??Where's the edit button ??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997894110666171636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-24250221012224216072013-11-07T11:18:31.747-08:002013-11-07T11:18:31.747-08:00Having the best team money can but has seldom been...Having the best team money can but has seldom been the best team at the end of the year. Kasten has stated many times that he will shift to a developental process rather then a purchaseed team sooner then later. My hope is the later and it should start now. Yes buy Tanaka but only go after Price is the price is right !!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997894110666171636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-75176893865868427472013-11-07T08:06:53.559-08:002013-11-07T08:06:53.559-08:00If Urias and Seager are required to get Price, jus...If Urias and Seager are required to get Price, just say no friggin way. This Dodger team in my opinion is not built for the long haul. The law of diminishing returns is about to set in for some of the big names in a couple of years but they have much longer contracts. The team simply has to keep Urias and Seager. Not so much Lee and Pederson.<br /><br />Nathan is 38 years old and will be seeking a 2/3 year contract standing the way of young arms - Dominguez, Tolleson, two Garcia's. I'm just not in favor of collecting old guys.huhlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227102715926105541noreply@blogger.com
