Quote:There are some here who are pre-programmed to hate every move this franchise makes, especially if it doesn't involve signing an overpriced, over hyped free agent they want.  They don't have the patience to allow anything to develop.  If there's not instant gratification, they complain incessantly.
 
This rebuilding process is going to be interesting to watch.  But, it requires people to set realistic expectations for where the team will be now, in the next few months, a year from now, and 5 years out.  I didn't anticipate them being very good this year.  I'm certainly disappointed in the perfect game we're pitching currently, but I can tolerate it knowing good things are coming.
 Can we play 20 questions to guess the prime culprit? I only need one.
I tend to like the approach they're taking.  It's not the quick fix some here would prefer.  But, it's an approach that allows them to build the team for the long haul to succeed.  If their moves pan out, the naysayers will have less and less to whine about until they're relegated to complaining about the lack of glitter in the uniforms.  If the approach and the evaluation process Caldwell is following prove to be the right ones for this organization, they won't have much more to get angry about.
