Law's point is that if you pick a bunch of Minor's you're likely to get a bunch of back end starters and maybe one improves to be as good as a healthy Minor was. If you draft a bunch of Toukis most will flame out, but you can get one of those elusive TOR guys (while cheap), prob still find a middle starter or two, and probably get a high leverage BP arm.
Law likes us b/c we are now drafting to HIS philosophy. He still hates the Braves name and would not work there w/o a name change.
He still does not like fan favorite Riley. Slow bat and unlikely to play well at 3B. Still doesn't like Kemp. Still doesn't like Neck. Still thinks Demmeritte is a flawed prospect bc of strike out rate. Etc Etc.
He is just saying that we've got enough lottery tickets that a couple should pan out.
