Petro has gotten better in the past few years about recognizing the value long-term control of good young players and ESPECIALLY in looking at more advanced stats and realizing that SPs, especially, are much more than ERA and W/L.
The Yankees' approach works FINE as long as you have cash to pay the vets AND trade your prospects for truly good players.
