My point was ATL saw a guy who filled a need and went and got him. I don't think anyone would argue Dimitroff is a much better GM than Heckert was and he probably would have chosen better players than Cleveland did. They just didn't see anyone else in that 2011 draft class that was as sure a thing to transition to the next level. Their research said Julio would be a solid player for them and they went and got him based on that. Regardless of what they gave up. Again, i agree having depth is important, but its easier to manufacture depth than it is to acquire true difference makers. Julio has been playing at a top level, barring his injury.
