“is something being undervalued” there was “a way to zig when everyone’s zagging” at the position.
With the management’s decision being a calculated risk, Roseman highlighted the cornerstone of his philosophy, stating, “It’s hard to find difference-making players and people, and it’s hard to find them for a cost. There’s risk in every decision you make, but we don’t think there’s any risk on the talent.”
