For some perspective on building a team by counting on prospects. I think you'll see somethings similar to what's happening now with the Twins. At least the first part. http://www.startribune.com/phil-miller-s-sunday-insider-red-sox-show-how-patience-with-prospects-can-be-rewarded/383534181/ I threw out the importance of 2015 a long time ago. The in-game meltdowns this year are undeniable. The flyball the Kepler missed, weird? unreal? IDK. But things are slooooowly ticking upwards. No highly prized starter will want to sign with the Twins. Contracts for starters are now solely market driven with quick outs: see Greinke. You try to get a MLB'er to fill the void / backup plan, while MiLB'ers are given time to develop, which can obviously turn ugly. In the case of Buxton, primarily, MiLB time is over. And is should be over for anyone else who has dominated AAA. It's sink or swim time. If you don't like what's happening now, just wait until next year.
