San Diego with the third highest payroll in the game ($246 million) is currently 20-25 with a .194 team BA with runners in scoring position (no team in the history of the game has ever finished the season below the Mendoza Line).
Meanwhile, the Giants are finally beginning to reap the rewards of a strong farm system (kinda like LA).
Don’t get me wrong, I believe in strategic additions via free agency but wholesale spending is not the answer.
Dang, if only Judge had said yes……..
No question best way to build is from the farm system then add. Like the. Giants did in their Championship run. I don’t think anyone disputes that. But money matters. Except to the Rays.
Most surprising team in baseball? 28-17 Texas Rangers. Not sure it will hold.
Hmmm…. I wonder what the Rangers and the Giants championship teams have in common?
Well, maybe the Rangers can get him over .500 lifetime. Those last 3 years with the Giants (214-272) did him no favors.
