Gatorman0519 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 If... and I say even if we somehow hire a genius GM it may take 2-3 years just to get to being competitive. That’s how bad this organization is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter2003 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) On 1/28/2020 at 10:52 PM, Curt said: Browns, Bengals, Sac Kings, Pirates, Rockies??? Pirates were good for a short run recently and made the playoffs 3 years in a row...they turned it around but recently went back to their losing ways again. Those low revenue teams in baseball just have a huge uphill battle where they have to constantly draft well and replace players leaving on rookie deals that have become too good and outpriced their budget. Basically they have to draft good players, hope they become good major leaguers and then hope they can draft their replacements when they leave in 4 or 5 years and that those players then become good major leaguers...its just too hard for these teams to remain competitive year in and year out when playing against the big boys and it turns into an endless cycle of churning players and watching them leave. Yeah they can do it for a few years here or there and catch lightning in a bottle for a year and maybe even win a World Series, but long term, they are going to have a lot more losing seasons than winning seasons while the high revenue teams simply poach all their good players once they hit FA or trade for them when they are in the final year of their deals so they get something for them instead of nothing.

That’s how bad this organization is. A competent GM can, without a doubt, have us playing in late April of 2021, with a good 3 week span this coming June/July. The same is true of late April 2020 had a competent GM given us a good 3 week span last June/July.

The rebuild failed because they set themselves up to begin with such a deficit in overall organizational talent it has taken them 5+ years to try and catch up to average, and they haven't gotten there yet, much like anti-tankers warned is likely to happen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are rumblings of the blame shifting away from the GM and I just can’t have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering there are a good amount of forwards on the last year of their deal cap isn't in bad shape and you start with Eichel and Dahlin, despite Terry's bumbling this far, it's still an attractive job for the right GM.
