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.

Once they play they lose value...for example there are people that think MJ Melendez isn't an MLB catcher. If you really believe that you are supposed to trade him before he ever touches an MLB game and attempt to rip off another team that thinks he can catch. You value your evaluation and win the deal.
