So let them play and sort it out. Keep rebuilding the developmental system and minors. Lay the foundation. We will probably suck this year, but how is that different than the past few years? Do it, but allow the prospects the chance to be evaluated.. Saying "It's been a problem forever that they live in fear they'll accidently trade a star and keep the wrong guy so they just keep all of them" isn't necessarily the end all now, seeing as it's only been this offseason with GMDM gone. Let's give it time and see if JJ does the same thing. Sure seems like he's trending towards it not being the same thinking (see Mondesi), but this process is in its infancy at this point without GMDM.
