But you HAVE TO realize, you're saying that you're ok trading off people that have either little value or whose value is massively depressed (Burnes). You're not getting significant pieces for our crap. But YOU have to realize, you just don't know how another GM might value those pieces. No one does. Maybe someone loves Freddy and Burnes, and that brings back more than anyone thinks it can. Or maybe, some GM's would prefer a package of major league ready players with some upside(which all of them cept Pina and maybe Thames have), rather than taking back prospects. Maybe Arcia is highly regarded by certain GM's. None of us know any of that. Some GM's may prefer quantity over quality. They all have value, but none of us know how much. Look how cheap Diekman went. There is some truth to this, but there's a limit to it. Yes, GMs will have differing opinions on some guys, but common sense comes into play, too. Obviously, you know there's no GM out there who is going to give up a big return for Aaron Wilkerson, for instance. His numbers are solid. There's just some common sense to apply there. The other element here is that the guys you've been wanting are the big fish, and many teams want the big fish. Competition is tough against teams with top farms. Yes, it's true a team may still value Burnes. But if we're offering him and the Dodgers come offering Gavin Lux, for example, we're not going to win that bid. If offered the choice between a top prospect and a young reclamation project, again, it's just common sense.
