The 86 Mets proved this definitively

I call bullshit. There’s so much wrong here it’s hard to know where to start.
Lee was nowhere close to the team’s 5th best prospect, Graveman will likely be fine, and a fungible backup catcher is a perfectly reasonable price to pay for a solid reliever.

Also, if the Astros 5th rated prospect is, at best, a backup catcher, the future is fucked.

This is why I was harping on stale prospect rankings in the other thread. A year ago, Lee was arguably at about that level. Since then, he went backward and lots of other guys went forward. But we still get stupid articles like this when sites like MLB.com (the worst offender) don’t update their reports.

It’s absolutely nuts to wring your hands over trading a guy who’s ceiling is a backup. But some people simply want to bitch about something.

Would that include the “latest” mlb power rankings, w/ the Rangers moving to 3rd from 5th as the Astros move from 5th to 6th?
Much obliged.
Power rankings are ridiculous fluff, dispensed by people with deadlines. Everything that matters will be decided on the field.

I honestly have no clue why anyone would pay any attention whatsoever to “power rankings”. That could possibly be the single dumbest, waste of space “ranking” imaginable.

Power rankings are (1) stupid and (2) irrelevant to the topic under discussion.

Ranking teams by how many middle relievers have read Moby Dick is far more insightful and meaningful.

Shower rankings, as in how much fungus a player has on his shower shoes.

The only Fiers list should be a list of the neighbors he has to notify about the things he’s done with underage girls.

Graveman is far better than the asshole said.
