Draft. Develop. Then augment with veterans later. That was always the way to do it. No one had patience. AA had no Farm System when he took over the JP...drafting high schoolers means 4-5 years of development before they even get a sniff at the majors...and people won't wait that long (ie. 2013 deals and 2015 deadline deals)
Wonder if Shapiro/Atkins are leaning towards doing that. Re-stock the farm and have them develop as the core going forward...and leave the existing core to either make or break on their own (ie. new big additions to help bolster).
I don't see any objective other than answering the question. If he called up and said 'I want to share some things about my time in Toronto and Rogers' then that looks fishy. But this interview? No.
He didn't say anything most of us weren't already thinking or knew.
He's answering the question.
Why do you guys get so upset about someone sharing their opinion. He's talking about his time in Toronto and I don't mind hearing it. Many of us have no respect for Rogers...and this is just another piece of info that shows us that our gut is possibly right for thinking that way.
