I’m excited about the CBA pick, as Tyler and I share an alma mater. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily translate to success on a professional baseball field (if my accomplishments are any indication, it definitely does not translate to that). But it’s still fun.
In his second season as general manager of the Rockies, Bridich’s plan is starting to emerge a bit. I’m still confused by how hard he worked to build a team full of guys that would only contribute to short-term success, if they contributed at all (Jason Motte, Chad Qualls, Mark Reynolds, Gerardo Parra), but his long-term plan is squarely focused on getting pitchers in the draft.
