Quote:Agreed, that is the key.  Improvement should be evident and while it doesn't have to show up in the W/L ratio to stay patient, after a certain point you expect it to show up there.  I think Gus takes the right approach...concentrate on improvement and the wins will come.

I agree..As improvement continues the W's will begin to manifest...I, as much as anyone would love to see a nice string of wins, but I won't go as far as to say we have to win "X" games this year or Gus will be gone...What I will say though, is that this is year 3 of a total rebuild, and I would expect that Gus will be scrutinized, as well as the team itself, for the level of improvement achieved from year 1 until now...I believe Caldwell is safe no matter what, but Gus will be under the microscope to be judged on his entire body of work...I think he gets one more year before his seat gets hot
