Overall, the minor league depth is trending in the right direction. It has become clear that the high-impact talent is in the low minors. You have the Romeros and the Bleis's of the world who are anywhere from 2-4 years away. At the AA and AAA level, there are some interesting players for sure, guys who are best served playing everyday at the minor league level and developing.
My gripe is with the Major League roster. My thought was that Bloom and Co would be able to pick up guys around the margins who are good pieces, much like 2021. I am referring to Kike, Renfroe, and Ottavino. Those guys meshed with the talent already on the roster, and it worked.
I thought the Bloom administration would be more creative when it came to finding competent players that could fill in for depth. More trades for useful veterans, finding guys that are one adjustment away from breaking out, or maximizing the talent of guys who are already on the roster.
Chaim is in charge of the whole thing, not just the minors. I do not want to fire him tomorrow. There are simply not enough every-day Major League players on the roster. The seat is starting to get warm, and we know this ownership group has shown that they will make sweeping changes if they do not like the direction of the baseball operation.
