I'm saying I wouldn't be so quick to run elite players out of town and rely on prospects as they fail more often than not, even the supposed best ones. And pretending a draft pick is some great compensation is foolhardy .
-and 2011 was down 30 percent from 2008.. All while the team is valued at 120m in 2000 and 870m in 2015, new draft process saves teams millions, and the tv contracts are huge .
Yup. I'd load up on the Minor and H.Alvarez types as well if the medicals look promising. A pretend small market team like Toronto has to take a chance on some of these types and hope they hit.
