I have faith in trusting Atkins and Shapiro here because IMO they've proven that they understand these players and prospects a lot better than we do.

Hell fans didn't like that we "only" got SWR and Kay for Stroman to start with because they weren't top prospects....now we are mad we traded SWR who developed into a top prospect.
Yeah. You’re right. I guess I’m getting caught up in the moment but I really liked the upside of both guys. I just don’t know what their sustainability plan is for bringing in similar ceiling prospects. I’ve started to trust their management in the past year and a deal like this totally seemed to go against their principles on the surface. But perhaps they don’t think too highly of the guys, and as talent evaluators that’s well within their skill and deserve the benefit of the doubt.
