Kind of what you are saying here but I would ask it differently.
If the FO knew that all of these guys would look this good in camp, would they have kept all of the vets?
It’s not as much about the stats in ST. As we have discussed, you can only take so much from them.
That said, these guys are all proven MiL talents. They are all ready in terms of that and they have come in ready, looking like they belong in the majors.
Had they known all of that, I think they would have been more motivated to trade guys.
