Firstly, time and time again, haven't we learned that 1st rounders are an absolute hit or miss in baseball? I don't know why the obsession more recently to get them. Granted the Jays don't have many prospects, but with baseball, development is so fickle. Look at past years' rookie of the year prospects and see how very often they just fall off the map. We have some very good assets like Tulo, JD, starting pitching in general, Travis, and yes, even Martin, all of which could net a decent hull if you want to, but why would you just want to stockpile guys in hopes they become something? The team is still competitive and they need to try and add more pieces - not rebuild. The harder positions to fill they already have in place. It'd take so many years to get to this point. Rebuilding simply doesn't make sense.
