The major league roster, not the current farm system, is going to determine Dayton's fate, probably by draft day 2014, it not sooner. And outside of Ventura and Duffy, there's really no prospect in the minors right now who can help them win games at the ML level by then (and what they really need is bats anyway).
Dayton might as well have drafted like he always planned to. His immediate and short-term concern should be the ML club.

Pretty much this. If his fate depends on 2013 and/or 2014, maybe he could find help if we had a higher draft pick, but at #8, there's no one available who would likely help the club next season. So, he may as well presume he'll keep his job and do whatever he thinks is best.
