This logic reminds me of when somebody critiqued a baseball player (Matt Wieters.)
They said that Matt Wieters was overrated, and that he was at best a league-average catcher ...... and that we ought to trade him for a 1st-round draft pick.
Say what ???

If Matt Wieters was indeed overrated and a league-average catcher at best, what GM in their right mind would give up a 1st-round draft pick for him in a trade ??? Apparently, the presumption was that the Baltimore Orioles' GM was the only GM in all of baseball who was aware of Wieters' mediocrity, and that the other 29 MLB GM's were all deaf, dumb, and blind with no access to the Internet for statistics and player analysis.
