COMMENTS
For those that talked about it last time, theres an 1050 episodeof The Reporters at 7:00 pm.
Who knows what will happen in 2013, but I recall getting in some debates in here about the Jays when I was applauding AA for turning around the minor league system. There was a fair bit of ‘so AA developed a good system. So what? Most won’t pan out’. I think we’re seeing the value of meticulously retooling a farm system now. Trades for three starting pitchers who threw 200 IP last year.
Again, could blow up in Toronto’s face, but these moves couldn’t have been made without AAs solid system and minor league work the last three years.
