And the guys in the FO involved with the scouting/ draft prep are still there. Put aside the 2 picks 15/16 years ago when they had the top pick and stumbled into generational talents, Strasburg and Harper. My kids could have made those picks. Rendon is the last draft pick with more than a career WAR over 4... and he was drafted in 2011. Lerners not spending money anymore certainly did not help, but what player is a development success story for Rizzo, even when Lerners checkbook was open before 2020? If they didn't get the Padres prospects in the Soto trade they'd have the least talent in MLB. 2 of those guys (Gore and Abrams) were already in the MLB. Hassell has regressed since the trade. Wood is a freak. Rizzo did have a good track record on trades, getting guys already developing in another system so I will give him props on pro scouting. And maybe the changes they made on the pitching development side a few years ago will bear fruit with some of the 6' 8" guys currently in the minors. We'll see.
