Yup. It's just such a crapshoot though. So while I don't know the
circumstances around their exits, it stings when we lose productive arms like Swift and Crowl. We are going to have to make great evaluations on on the less than obvious guys that are already landing at what have traditionally been better programs. Hope we hit on that this year.
Look at this past season though. Most of the big contributors ended up being recruited guys. The transfer arms had very mixed results with most of them having a diminished role by the end of the year.
Not trying to be a downer, but it's just proven pretty difficult for us to play the Portal card well on the mound.

The Swift portal irritates me the most. Not sure what beef CJS had w/ him.

Agreed it's a headscratcher. The dynamic changed for sure though as a lot
