And being good now would be a bad thing IMO cause Glass will never start spending good money on players if he thinks he can fill the stadiums without doing it.
The only way we will EVER get better is if we either get so horrible no one goes to any games (like 5,000 attendance), or Glass just realizes like any good investment he'll have to take 5 years of red to make it pay off.

Is it an owner or personnel/GM issue? I know that the Twins, Oakland and maybe a few other teams are really successful with a player budget of about 55 million. However, GMs Ryan and Beane are probably the best at what they do.
