Ultimately, I think that Mozeliak has done a good job of changing the identity of the club in a time where we needed to change, because our veteran core was over the hill and rapidly declining.
Our farm system finally is showing signs of life (Colby Rasmus, Anderson, etc.) By the time '09 rolls around, we should be able to field a competive team with a mixture of good young talent and solid veterans.

Agree with everything EXCEPT Taguchi. I really think it sucks that they got rid of him. I know he's old, but he still hits well and is effective in the field.
And I'm bracing for a really shitty season, too. Hopefully it won't be Chiefs bad, but this team has some serious holes.
