Disappointed at all?

[Sports Guy]

I wonder how differently MacPhail would have acted if there was a stud 1b or 3b on the market this year? His choice was to sign retreads to short deals or wait on the kids. He did a little of both. I don't see that as a poor job.

He would have been in on it until they were no longer a bargain and then he would have made an excuse as to why it wouldn't have made sense and everyone would have bowed at his greatness.

Its all speculation...Its more likely that he sells IMO.

Oh, so now we are a losing club in your eyes? I thought we were on the right path and need to be patient?

As it stands today, we are a losing club. Are we not?

I edited my post because I didn't want you to get the wrong impression. Alas, I was too slow. Still, you're criticism seems based on a feeling that something major should have happened. But what? That to me smacks of boredom.

I love it when people on this site think they know what others are thinking.

Guess what LJ..You are completely wrong..Just move on.

Sure...but if you think AM is doing such a great job and we are positioned well for the future, then PA shouldn't have any issue selling the team, right?

And so SG goes into SG-mode firing random pot-shots at the OH for failing to see things with the clarity he concedes only he possesses.

Do you think we aren't well positioned for the future?

If you had a sense of irony, SG, it would be tingling right now.

Note, I said "seems" and asked you to explain. That's it. Read much?

I think we are positioned well to be an 85-88 win team...I really don't have the confidence in AM to make us more than that..at least on any kind of a consistent basis.

Well it seems to me that you have no freaking clue as to what you are talking about.

It seems to me that you are wasting my time and it seems to me that you are taking lessons from Rshack on how to post.

Like everyone did last year for Teixeira?

I mean, wait. No, many people were very upset with the final offer MacPhail made for Teixeira.

You beat me to it. Well done.

Is an 85-88 win team a good foundation?

Man this is so true. People praise Andy so much for doing absolutely nothing...

Why folks want to see Andy line Angelos' pockets with more of their money is beyond me...

[Sports Guy]

Sure..but its only a foundation...Its not the completed project.

I am not happy being Toronto...maybe you are.

[JTrea81]

Is an 85-88 win team a good foundation?

Yes, for the next GM and owner that actually know how to take the team to the next level in the AL East...

Absolutely nothing?? So he's basically doing the equivalent of a message board poster?
