Very true. The game is constantly changing and a lot of what was deemed "new thinking" in the past can go the way of the dinosaur in a hurry. Dodgers are a very good franchise, but they also have a very high payroll. That level of payroll will keep Bellinger in Dodger Blue as long he's performing and arbitration on good younger players is not as urgent a consideration as it is in other markets. I have absolutely no problem with Anthopoulos attempting to replicate what the Dodgers are doing, only with a smaller payroll.
I could have seen several workable draft strategies. Maybe we take a higher ceiling/above slot guy at #21 and go with a couple of college seniors mid-second-day to accommodate that and maintain the third-day strategy on the high-ceiling lottery guys.
