There aren't really stupid front offices anymore, so to further what DJ said, you can't fleece bad ones, which is how Jocketty operated.

if you can’t use or outsmart other GM’s on a regular basis then it seems that the only long term strategy that will work in 2018 is drafting and developing your own players. And or having plenty of money to buy players or cover for mistakes.
Yet, in your previous posts you outlined the dangers of selling too low or buying too high with prospects. Those flaws would sink the whole plan resulting in a deficit of talent to compete. Pretty much what’s currently happening.
It would seem to me that it takes a whole organization now and not just a great GM to be successful. The Cardinals seem to develop and or develop players better than the average team.
Also you would need to add new and fresh approaches to your overall staff to keep current on trends or stay ahead of the other teams. Unknown if that’s happening.
