Imagine if people from this board were there asking questions?

Question #1

Balkie why havent you stepped down yet, and when can we expect you to announce it?

I don't even ask him a question. I look at Shad and then point directly at Baalke.

Yeah. I would have balked at Baalke in real time after hearing that in person at the press conference. I hope it's Khan just playing politics for now. Praying like hell it's Spielman, Smith, somebody at an EVP level announced next week and Baalke is [BLEEP] canned the day before free agency officially starts. That would be perfect. If not.... 

I don't see any reason to do this, clearly Khan thinks he's bringing something to the table, but as long as he's not the guy in charge and isn't the only guy Khan is trusting then it probably doesn't matter. At this point it looks like he's going to be a glorified scout for Spielman and Pedersen, since Khan wouldn't specify that Baalke has control, and they're bringing in someone to be above him, which is fine. With Spielman and Pedersen in place I see a bright future for the team, and nothing else really matters except for the team finally succeeding.
