From the trade simulator site: [sarcasm]Discussion over[/sarcasm] -
But didnt they get less quality for the other two better outfielders? Yelich's contract is quite a bit more attractive, which makes him arguably more valuable than either.

Yah, I think that is how it works...what exactly are you trying to say? Haha, pretty sure he said that all in jest and is agreeing with you. It made me chuckle at least

Definitely. We've got time to develop more outfielders now and if they don't pan out, we do have free agency and trades as options to fill holes as well.

Part of me wonders if Stearns actually views the *larger* advantage in continuously obtaining young, controllable talent is *to* trade them for established pieces rather than to see who actually pans out hoping one becomes a superstar. Maybe in his calculations it takes 4 big time prospects to have 1 actually be the superstar you need, and while the others could be serviceable pieces, those positions can be filled in FA easily. Not to mention, you're using up major league roster spots in the meantime to allow players to develop and figure out who can make an impact at this level. So if you can trade 3 big prospects for a known star, you use up 1 fewer prospect finding a player and you remove some of the risk involved in both possibly not find that player at all and in wasting multiple roster spots on developing players who may ultimately bust. I don't know if any of that is true or not, but it'd be really interesting to hear DS's theories in this regard.

Losing Harrison is rough, but it's pretty amazing to still have Woodruff/Burnes/Ortiz all escape the trade.
