I doubt Elias cares a whit about “fan pressure.”   

That’s a problem, isn’t it? He has had top picks and so far looks really bad for last 2 years. He had just taken over with AR and was consensus 1 (like Jones hopefully). Take the bpa and stop making excuses for his failures. Elias draft approach is flawed.

No, it isn’t a problem.  GMs need to stick with the approach they believe in.  Fan opinion should be irrelevant.  Most fans know very little, and they almost always know a lot less than they think they know (me included).

I’m not saying Elias’ approach is correct.   But I’m definitely saying that fan pressure shouldn’t sway him one iota.

Nope.  Just because it makes you feel bad/frustrated, doesn't mean he should care.  He was hired to do the job he/Angelos have agreed to.  The only opinion that matters more than Elias' is Angelos'.  You and I can have ours, but I don't want executive decisions based on mob rule.

Well, I guess in theory their opinion matters since they own the team but I will take the opinion of most fans over what Angelos thinks when it comes to pure baseball decisions.

Who the hell is batting for Lake Elisnore? That dude is massive for a single-A team. Awesome catch, and great he corrected after either he took a bad route or the ball got caught up in the wind, impressive either way.
