Have we been too harsh on Baalke?

Kidding aside, his free agency sucked last year, was pretty good this year (on paper) and last year's draft looks like it only had 2 or 3 clunkers in it so far. 

This year's draft will go a long way to finding out if he's done anything to actually re-shape the roster. But, of course, we won't really know about much of the class right away. 
So far Trent Baalke has missed on several FA signings and filled some obvious holes. "Reshaping" is a gross overstatement at this stage in a faltering rebuild that was set back miles by a coaching hire Baalke should have fought tooth and nail to prevent.
That is just it. We do not know if he fought it and never will.  The only opinion that really counts is the highest ranking guy in the room when a decision is made. In this situation after it is made you get on board or you get on down the road.  Another thing we will never know is if Baalke convinced Kahn to save the cap money till this year because he saw the train wreck coming.  Things that make you say hmmm...

You are welcome to excuse Baalke of any blame for the Urban Error if you so choose. 
In my mind, he has to be somewhat complicit. At the end of the day - he failed to convince team ownership not to make a horrible decision and this is part of the job. 

If he didn't fight, he's a fool. If he did fight, he didn't fight enough. 

And, yes, there are many variables we don't know that could paint Baalke in a better light. Could also go the other way. 

I'm glad he had a solid FA period this offseason and last year's draft looks solid or better, but I'm not trying to just look past the obvious mistakes until I see enough to constitute a trend in the right direction.
