I like this more than giving Eddie or Brantley a one year deal or giving Bellinger a $200M contract or trade for a rental. Guy with tools for days with some success young and has five years of control

Buddy isn’t a sure thing at all. One of AA’s riskiest moves with the highest upside. Special pop and tools

I don’t mind taking these shots but would be great to fill that spot with a proven commodity. But maybe he isn’t a lock for the position.

Not wanting to pay players in this era is quickly going to get you left behind. Have already seen it somewhat with Dabo.

Garner is extremely old school. He says his tutelage alone is worth millions and he doesn’t really care for personnel that makes a decision strictly on money. He isn’t wrong re: his coaching but man it will cost us some players. But who can argue against him? He is an elite coach and his philosophy works.

What’s cheap is bringing back Rosario at $9M, which they didn’t do.

I just don’t see the negative side of this. IMO

I think the only potential negative is if we don’t add a legitimate starting pitcher to bolster the rotation, if we do that then I’m fine with the Grissom/Keleinc risk.

Feel like the portal may become a big problem for this team but maybe I’m negative 🙃

It's funny because you see these guys hit the portal and it feels like your team can go shopping . . . then you realize "Hey . . . Some of these programs they're leaving are successful. What happens if guys on our roster start selling too?"

Feels like we've had a decent hit rate from the portal and not lost a ton so far. Senior DBs leaving is the only way they aren't going to start over more talented young guys anyways.

Yep. Banks leaving for MTSU could open up the window for some pretty important guys to look elsewhere. Hope he doesn’t
