It’s a case of thinking you’re the smartest person in the room. Time will tell I guess
This is where I have some understanding of why people are so hard on Jays management, they are certainly targeting players in trade differently than the industry consensus. Could work, but could blow up and likely will decide the fate of Atkins. However, given how well their drafting is looking i'm willing to give them the benefit when it comes to their ability to scout.

Logan Allen and Kay basically have the same value I would say so for me the difference in the Bauer deal vs Stroman deal is SWR. if he lands on the top 100 or even winds up a top 50 prospect in 2 years time, as some suggest he could, the difference in the Bauer-Stroman deal isn't huge, especially given that Bauer has much more value IMO.
