He's made enough mistakes to deserve some ire despite my personal belief that he'll turn out to be a quality GM.  But I get why folks question him. I just happen to believe the talent he's mined in rounds two through five is significant enough to earn him the second chance that Khan and TC have clearly already given him.  

If I were to whine about Caldwell -  my headline would be "Bradley," not Joeckel/Fowler etc. (despite the prematurity of such declarations)

I think the initial HC hire will turn out to be a far greater sin in the end. Even though it's been well established that the Khans had big influence on that hire.

I may be an underdog fan, but I have a feeling that DC will prove a benefit in the end.

Caldwell is not the issue and never has been. No GM will ever bat 100% and they'll all make mistakes. That's just the name of the game. Some people just love to bring up the same dead topics over and over.

Please just combine this thread into the other 37 because you, I and everybody else knows this thread is just going to be the same stuff spewed over and over. 

It's going to be half told information from the people who want to bash Caldwell and they will completely ignore anything logical that backs him. Just like in every other Caldwell thread. There's literally no point in having this thread right now, this close to the season. It's beyond pointless.
