Our prior management was terrible. They would make terrible moves, and trade our talent away for nothing. The current administration came in with no farm system and few key major leaguers. Now we have a top farm system in the league, and already some great young players in the majors. The worst deal done by our current gm was the Bay trade, since we got one average 3rd basemen, a below average outfielder, terrible reliever, and high upside yet injured goods starting pitcher.
When we traded Nady to the Yankees we got the much better end of that deal. Mclouth deal we got the better end. This team has a minor leagues full of great young hitters, and we have a pretty decent young pitching staff. We are only 7 games out of first place.
