Somewhat true. Atkins also didn’t trade Donaldson for a ransom at the time, with a few of the old asses. That’s on him. Their platform from day one was always that they wanted to develop talent internally to have a perennial contender. Their prospects have not been annually brought in as planned. AA, inherited or not, decided to keep his young guys, and they’ve developed nicely. Simple as that.
