00:00We can talk about the prospects and we can hump that idea as much as we want and there is a haul

00:06And there's one of those prospects who I really really like an awful lot, but but the main point is this

00:12This is an emblem of organizational failure

00:15when it's

00:16Logical at all

00:18To send this guy away

00:21You know how hard it is to hit

00:23on the number 11 draft pick

00:26And four years later

00:28Have the guy with the best strikeout rate of any starting pitcher in baseball

00:34They nailed it and it's so difficult to do that

00:38It's the number 11 pick in the draft and you took a guy with a spotty injury history and however it happened

00:44You took him in 2020

00:46There are only four all-stars from that draft around major league baseball

00:51Wow, one is one is jordan westberg. The other two are braves picks spencer strider at 126

00:58Bryce elder at 156

01:00But you got garrett crochet at number 11 from that pick and he's above

01:05Chris sale tarik scooble and sonny gray and strikeout rate as a starting pitcher. He's absolutely dominant

01:11This is the pinnacle of what you want a front of the rotation starter who's super cheap

01:16For the next couple of years and you're so bad at everything else as an organization

01:22That you have to send him away with prayers that your prospect hall

01:26Is worth it and you're eight years removed

01:30From doing it with chris sale and we know how that turned out sending him to the exact same team

01:35And they won a world series where he got the final out. Yeah, and your

01:40pieces that you got from it

01:43gave you

01:44Mixed results and eventually all left you with nothing

01:50It's it's a brutal emblem of a bad organization and we can talk about the prospect hall, but don't lose sight of the headline
