How do you just draft good players including high schoolers who might be 5/6 years away from the majors?  Or sign Latin American kids who may be ten years away. There is no east formula for that. No magic data analytics. It’s mostly human judgment.

Dodgers seem to have figured that out. So have the Rays. The Yankees are pumping out tradeable players every year. Cleveland is constantly competitive. Why can't we, with the money to afford a $200 million payroll and all that player development costs, figure it out?
