There is always reason to be concerned when it comes to baseball owners, but is there any reason we should be especially concerned as O's fans? The organization has a decent track record of spending when trying to compete. While not as much or as consistent as NYC or BOS, the problem has been more misspending on the wrong players as opposed to not spending and lack of commitment. Is the theory that  the sons have to prove their commitment to winning and we should be "concerned" until proven otherwise? 

In addition to what SG mentioned all of the behavior that has made the Angelos name synonymous with bad ownership over the years.  Vetoing trades, prohibitions on longer contracts for pitchers, approach to medical evaluations, personally inserting themselves into negotiations for players they have an affinity for, etc...
