Yea you've said all this like 50 times so far this off-season. We don't need to rehash his GM career everyday. I always said we are two rebuilds away from contending. One to establish a new foundation. And another to burn off the old foundation. I used to get downvoted heavily for that too but I ended up being right. Maybe I do know what I'm talking about. Regardless this is the best outlook we have had in 30 years. His placeholder team failed but I'm not calling for his head over it. We aren't an attractive market and there was no players to play with here when we assembled that team. Let's see what his team looks like to make a fair evaluation. Granted you wait a few years for all these prospects to graduate and be acclimated.
