The recent announcement of Tarik Skubal winning the American League Cy Young Award and Chris Sale taking home the National League Cy Young has sparked quite a buzz in the baseball community. Skubal's unanimous win is particularly noteworthy, especially considering he was a 9th round draft pick. This raises some intriguing questions about talent evaluation in baseball.
How often do we overlook potential stars simply because they don't fit the mold of a top draft pick? With stories like Skubal's and others like Mookie Betts and Mike Piazza, it seems that the scouting process can be incredibly hit or miss. What do you think are the key factors that contribute to a player's development after being drafted?
Additionally, with the offseason approaching, what bold predictions do you have for the upcoming free agency? Will teams start to prioritize scouting and player development over big-name signings?
And let's not forget about the implications of these awards on the teams involved. How do you see the Tigers and the Red Sox capitalizing on their Cy Young winners moving forward? Will Skubal's success lead to a long-term commitment from Detroit, or could it make him a target for trade talks if the team struggles next season?
