I have no doubt he doesn't see the value in it. And yes...it's high risk high reward. Similar to drafting High Schoolers, but to an even high degree (coincidently...not many high schoolers were drafted, and far less signed this year as well).
I like taking some gambles...maybe more than most. Playing it safe drives me nuts...a big reason I was not a Ricciardi fan in the way he stocked the farm system. I'm going to wait before I pass judgement on the Shatkins....but I already have one eyebrow raised.
