Almost like depth played a factor.
It wasn’t depth. It was a great defensive play by a homegrown CF and HRs by a 38 year old journeyman and a homegrown catcher.

would love to see the dodgers front office try their luck at running a small market club
Friedman ran the Rays for years and had them contending on a tiny budget.
Give a smart guy like him $300 million and it was easy to see this happening.

Gonna be fun telling my 4 year old daughter next April why the Braves aren’t playing due to a lockout.

You’re missing a bunch of guys from the Guggenheim era:
Seager
Bellinger
Kenley Jansen
Oneil cruz
Wrobleski (so far)
Joc pederson
Then there’s the cast offs that dodgers turned into impact players such as Justin turner and max muncy

They competed at a high level but couldn’t get over the hump based on their own talent.
Then they bought titles
I get it. What’s more risk averse-proven mlb talent vs unproven prospects. They just somehow get rewarded with inflated prospect rankings over the last decade as well.

Find me another 28 year old non Cuban in the top 75 of the mlb prospect list

Sporting a 4.5 career ERA and coming off TJ

Checking eith goldennuggrt to see if he can get to the bottom of this like he did with the Yu Darvish trade

4-5 years is an incredibly narrow timetable to evaluate how prospects have panned out
You could put together a legitimate title contender from graduated Dodgers draftees/IFA signings littered around MLB right now. They’ve done an incredible job at developing talent since Friedman was hired and people who suggest otherwise are either butthurt about them winning all the time or simply don’t know what they are talking about

So you think that’s a normal thing?
I mean come on
Let’s look at Jacob degroms write up at the age of 25
He was only the number 12 prospect for the METS not nationally and said some people might dismiss him because he’s OLD at 25 and had Tommy John.
The dodgers have traded a guy who is somehow in the top 75 overall who is 28 and coming off Tommy John.
Maybe he ends up great but for every organization they would NEVER get that type of juicing of their prospects

At first glance, it might be easy to dismiss the 25-year-old DeGrom as an older prospect. But if you take into account that he was a two-way player at Stetson, then missed the 2011 season in the Mets organization following Tommy John surgery, he's not far behind, experience-wise. He's proved himself to be a solid starter and reached Triple-A Las Vegas in 2013. DeGrom has a fastball that should be a plus pitch and combines it with a potentially above-average slider. He also throws a solid changeup. If DeGrom can have even just average command, he has a future as a starter and could soon be Major League-ready.

I don’t get the River Ryan thing simply because at that age with his injury history he’s probably a reliever, but the Tigers clearly liked him a lot as well. And despite what is posited by the great baseball minds on the MSB they don’t have some predisposition to help out the Dodgers.
They should have demanded Sheehan IMO
If you want a team that has incredible resources that has overhyped prospects look to the east coast

The last wave of prospects was the weakest under Friedmans tenure. Diego Cartaya was the weakest #1 propsect we've had under him, imo. Pages amd Wrobleski are probably the only real "pieces" of that generation, and it was ranked accordingly. 2/3 years ago we largely were ranked around 11/12 in system rankings. The idea that we somehow get inflated rankings or are to blame when other organizations dont develop the prospects we trade them I'd my new favorite take from all of this

So you agree that their prospect rankings are juiced.
Thanks

Due to their free agent signings, they have a logjam and their prospects can’t make it to the big leagues.
