You want me to run a list of trades and free agent signings for established MLB talent that have been made under the Williams/hahn regime? it wont be pretty

Do you want me to run a list of trades and signings that include the following:

Giolito, Moncada, Eloy, Cease, Kopech, Robert, Abreu, Dunning (got us Lynn), traded for Eaton (got us Giolito), Claimed Quintana (got EloyCease), I am sure there is many more.

You just clearly didn't get the point. Never said they couldn't evaluate MILB talent well. They can. Maybe they should stick to that

Exactly.  Before they finished this rebuild, you could question this.  But this front office gets  A LOT more rope after making back to back playoffs, and being a leader for a third.

they had to go through the rebuild because they couldn't find MLB talent. It's really not hard to understand my point

They also benefited from the rebuild because they were able to find enough MLB talent to turn into a shortcut on the rebuild.  Your point a canyon of a hole in the middle of it.

Make that list along with that same list for the top 5 orgs that you do think are great at it.  I'd love to see how they compare.

So the front office hired the scouts who evaluated the talent, and took the advice of those guys to deal for them.  They also hired the staff who did develop them.  But the front office somehow doesn't deserve credit here?  Bizarre.

"hired the staff that developed them" they can get credit for hiring the staff

MLB talent Dallas keuchel? who makes top 10 starter money? Grandal (great signing) certainly didn't help us "shortcut" when we had James McCann. But keep carrying that water!

no, they didn't "shortcut" the rebuild

So correctly evaluating Adam Eaton, Jose Quintana, and Chris Sale for trades didn't help the rebuild at all?  Especially when the sold at absolute peak value on Q and Eaton for sure, and probably sold peak value on Sale (pre-surgery and gigantic extension).  That isn't MLB talent evaluation?

Um, sure.
