That said, next season he will still only be 23. I think the Perdomo as an everyday player experiment has run it’s course. Justin: You had to make it difficult by going with non bullpen? :P I guess SS and 3B. What non-bullpen position concerns you most for 2023 in Arizona? As clichéd as it is, that mindset of knowing HOW to win is important too. Wesley: I think cultivating an enviroment of success is important. I will admit baseball is a different animal, it’s not really a team game as the individual plays of the game are 1v1 events but at the end of the day they win as a team and lose as one. Instill that mentality while you’re young and in the minors so you’re ready to compete at the highest level. I think we saw from other Arizona teams that losing is contagious and it’s easy to get complacent. ![]() Either they have a winning mindset or they don’t – I’m glad they have it. Makakilo: It matters because it is an indication that the Diamondbacks in Reno have a winning mindset. It’s exciting for those guys though and I’m happy they get to try for the championship. But all in all, I’m not sure “learning to win” matters for anyone other than Pfaadt/Thomas. Spencer: I’d be more excited if the team had more players expected to be essential to our next contender. The only way to learn how to win is to win ball games, nothing else teaches those lessons better. Thomas was also a part of Visalia’s Cal League Championship back in 2019 when they were the team’s High-A affiliate at the time. We saw Corbin Carroll, Drey Jameson, Ryne Nelson, Alek Thomas, and Brandon Pfaadt participate in that culture this year. Michael: It matters that these players learn how to win baseball games before they hit the big leagues. Still, winning is better than losing and I’d love to see more winning in the organization. Beyond that though, I don’t think it matters too terribly much. James: At least those involved got a taste of a “winning culture”. No one in Phoenix is going to throw a parade for the PCL Championship What happens next, though, matters much much more. We’ve been hearing it’s a top farm system for a couple of years now, and this is probably the first real return from that system. ISH95: I don’t know if it matters, per se, but I think it speaks to the quality of the farm system. It shows that the future might be bright for the D-Backs! I guess what I am saying is it is cool, but doesn’t necessarily mean anything for the big club.ĭBacksEurope: They are? That’s great! It’s always better to have a farm team that is a champion (Reno) than one that dwells in the cellar (Visalia), so congrats to the team. I am just writing this off the top of my head. ![]() I would have to go look, but I think the likes of QUDJY, etc were already in the majors in the last half of 2006. Justin: Eh, the Tucson Sidewinders were in 2006.
