WOW.
An infield of Rizzo, Russell, Castro and Byrant. Oh.My.God.
People keep trying to temper expectations (rightly so) by saying some prospects will not become stars.
So, as it stands today - or tomorrow, actually - Bryant - Castro - Russell - Rizzo is your young, talented IF that is under contract for years to come.
If we get absolutely NOTHING from Olt, Lake, Baez, Alcantara......the IF is in GREAT shape.
And does anyone believe we get nothing from that group? OK, we may never see Olt or Lake again. But Mendy can play this game, and Baez isn't likely to just disappear.
But even if they all disappear, the IF and Soler are 5 really nice pieces. Hopefully Schwarber continues his pace. And we have some other guys in the minors who are better than most we had in years prior. A couple 3rd base prospects who will be blocked, and McKinney and Almora.
Nice!!
