I'm done with him after seeing the interview where he insists they need major league ready talent in return on any trade. Even if that is his desire, he should be more aware of the fanbase and need to differentiate himself from DM and not put it out there directly.
Hopefully Sherman can have a Clark Hunt/Pioli type revelation sometime soon, clean house, and hire someone respected and proven who can lead the change.

I think the organization is so far away from being competitive that the evaluation of JJ needs to be more transactional. Is he making moves that puts the organization in a better position for the future? At this point I think there just seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding everything, and the lazy approach is to just look at ML. If they are reworking philosophies and instructional procedures throughout the org, that takes time. But we as fans have limited visibility into that because the rewards of such changes will never be immediate, and ultimately you can\will see dips in productivity at the MiLB levels if the changes are massive (which are needed). We are seeing the minors taking a step back this year.... the HOPE is that this is due to organizational philosophy changes.
What a lot of us were hoping was these "changes" would be of the personnel type so we would KNOW 100% a philosophy and approach overhaul was occurring. That isn't happening and we're hearing some of the same "GM Philosophy speak" from JJ that we heard from Dayton. Which gives the impression that we're just ****ed.
