Yeah, I like him. He's an impressive guy, he's done a lot of great philanthropic work. Purchasing the Magna Carta is super impressive. Also, it's clear he's a diehard fan and he seems to be comfortable enough with himself to allow others to make decisions.
But I've said it before and I'll say it again, just because he's not Angelos doesn't mean he's going to spend money. A lot of people around here seem to think it's a foregone conclusion that he will because...well, that's what people want to believe. The good news here is that the Angelos group set a really low bar to compare to, practically anything will be better.
Yesterday when that pinecone Brown asked him a question, something about how he and his new ownership group can help the team win, he didn't mention spending money in free agency. I'm going to re-watch the game today while I'm working and I'll listen closer to what he said, but he said a lot of things and none of them had anything to do with spending money and raising the payroll.
Now, maybe he was caught off-guard by that question and rattled off a few things that came to mind immediately, but if that's the case then spending money obviously isn't on the top of his mind. He's not said anything about it anywhere, from what I've seen. If someone can show me a quote where he's said that he'd like to spend in free agency, well, I'd love to be wrong.
So I think we're in great hands from a lot of perspectives, but the big thing that everyone wants to know remains to be seen. And it's not a sure thing.
