Sure you did. You started off saying we shouldn't be confident in signing Hosmer because of Glass' track record. When I reminded you of the many above slot deals we've signed in the past few years, you then said you weren't sold on Moustakas and Hochevar, which has nothing to do with your original point.

It looks like things are going in the right direction. I agree with this, but I'm far from convinced. As I've stated before in this forum, this year's draft marked a change from previous years and, for me, would be the first beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt moves that signal that the team is dedicated to winning.

The MLB is not the NFL - it takes years and years to turn a crap franchise around, especially when it's a small market team. We're doing the right thing by signing young and talented players instead of cheap ones, but it takes years for those guys to develop into MLB stars. Focus on the strategy, not the immediate results.
