The Legend Continues
Santiago Espinal in AA:
.298/.353/.468
7.8% BB rate, 13.7% K rate
This kid could be a steal.
Devon Travis at AA (23 y/o):
.298/.358/.460
8.4% BB rate, 13.6% K rate
Alas, non-prospect.

Because it was bottom 5 when the prior regime left, and is now top-5 under the current regime. A ton of replenishing has occurred, both via trades and far better drafting.
The results suggest otherwise.

So? He didn't make the play. The game is played on the field, and the results are exactly what they are.
Is every losing team entitled to an asterisk? Because we both damn well know that an argument can be made for anything and everything....hey, if Bill Buckner only makes that play....
Disputing reality is more silly than accepting it.
cute.
Travis: A- 135wrc+, A 160wrc+, A+ 174wrc+, AA 126wrc+
Espinal: Rk 89wrc+, A 102wrc+, A+ 131wrc+, AA 126wrc+ (51pa)

2) you realize that top-5 system is led by almost all AA guys at the top, right?
Espinal: 3.4 warp (A+/AA/405 PA)
Travis: 4.9 warp (A+/AA/678 PA)
System rankings are almost entirely dependent on depth (ie: a deep pool of legitimate prospects), they aren't determined by a few guys at the top. Our system isn't being ranked high because of 2-4 "AA prospects" lol.
Worth noting that Travis had 4 seasons in the minors and this is Espinal's 3rd. So if he finishes strong in AA this season he might right on target with Travis plus there is no need to rush Espinal, could play in AAA next season.

Saying a 93-69 team, with a pythag record of 102-60, (891 Runs, 670 Runs Allowed) who was a replacement level player away from the world series was, and I quote "too one dimensional to win a WS" is not only disputing reality, its thumbing one's nose at it.
Curious how long this AA vs Shapiro/Atkins debate will last. At some point we just need to let it go
no matter how many times you say this, it doesn't make it true.
The results suggest otherwise.
This is exactly how I saw it. And why I was not a fan of what transpired.
