Right....and how many years has David Glass been in charge?
Look, I'm glad he opened his checkbook for the draft. It's a step in the right direction. But this franchise has been SO poorly run for soooo long (and again...he's been running it, no?) that it's going to take more than a draft to get this team back to where it could/should be, especially in light of the commitment the community has made to it.
You can boil down what I'm saying to this: the Glass family has yet to be reciprocal in its spending on this franchise to what the community has been towards it. One draft...the kind they should have been having ALL ALONG (if you aren't going to spend in the FA market, you freakin' well better spend in scouting development; the R's did NEITHER) is what it is:
One step in the right direction. About 50 more are needed.
SHOW. ME.
