But that's a common thread. We're basically running a sports car in 1st gear.

Agreed.
But we essentially bet significantly on mediocrity, which is beyond infuriating. Myers represented our best long-term chance at success. Shields was, at best, win now.
And the latter isn't going to happen. Thus, we're relegated to chasing a big mistake by trading more treasure to try to acquire a bat.
