I never said they weren't going for it. In the post you quoted I said they may be going for it now as well as looking 5-10 years down the road. Maybe AA feels the prospect pool is deep enough that when the current 'win now' window of approx. 3 years is up, they will be positioned nicely enough the bring up some of their prospects they already have.
I guess my thought process is that the future of the Jays is pretty uncertain (like most teams), but the present is pretty clear in that the Jays have a good enough team to make some serious noise this year and probably for the next couple/few.
He's gambling, but I'm ok with it.
