His core was definitely a product of his scouting and plan of action, however. Now, whether he can adjust to the modern rules of the game remains to be seen, and with his performance so far, the leash needs to be shortening.

It didn't help when MLB clamped down on the draft rules. Dayton had a lot of success going over slot and spending a bunch of money in the draft. I don't know if it actually plays out that way when you statistically hash it out, but it seems like this team hasn't drafted as well since that happened.
