Look at the crack in the Dodgers after their deals. Bad Karma has a way of evening the score of Money Money Money. mayhbe we can unload FF to them for money like a dollar bill.

Just saying does it make sense to let him put into a place a 10 year plan knowing full well it will never get completed and most likely anything gained in it will be ruined because the next guy has to undo 4 or 5 years of organization decline due to the snails pace they expected to grow in?

Maybe a 10 year plan works I have always said before that 10 years of losing can make anyone a winner…

But there is no sense in continuing a plan or letting a GM implement a plan you have no intentions of seeing through till the end.

Your just wasting time and maybe even costing you more!

Who/what the next GM does will be very interesting to see.

Tell me is the Tampa Model conducive to keeping Wright?
Is that what they would do?

And if you listened carefully he said the teams think they have the best organization but they don’t say they have the best methodology to get there!

It’s the same model the Braves and Phillies used!

Lost for a decade and when you have drafted at the top of the draft 10 years straight by the end of that decade you should have drafted enough talent to make trades and promote kids to fill all your holes!

You think Sandy’s model of Tampa is going to ever survive here?

You gonna sit and wait 10 years for the plan to complete?

Sandy had better start convincing someone we are going in the right direction by this time next year or he is done!

‘I feel’, ‘my take’, ‘IMO’, ‘just what I think’, ‘that’s my thought’ are all phrases he used to preface some of the comments he made.

1 – If Wright gets re-signed it won’t be because Sandy wants him but because the Owners forced Sandy to sign him due to PR ramifications.He said if the FO had their way they would rather move on from Wright!

On this above Craig loosely said:
‘I would go so far with Wright, ownership may sort of override all and say he’s staying.
I think the FO would prefer to move on. Not saying they said that though.’

2 – This FO would like model us to be like the Tampa Bay Organization (FYI Tampa’s current Payrol is 64.1M 25th in the League!)

He did say this and went on to say as a matter of fact other GMs feel the model of the Tampa Bay Org is the best in baseball. Not just ours.

3 – This FO’s long term plan is a 10 year worth of losing.

When he asked if Met fans are willing to wait 10 years to contend, his counterpart disputed that saying something like: ’10 years is a little excessive in modern day sports unless you have no money. Nothing close to 10 years for rebuilding. More like 3/4 years away.’

He was annoyed they didn’t field a real OF but conceded they were stuck with some bad contracts that made it difficult to work around. He also cited the BP as a failure, which I think we all agree with.

You guys should listen to the Craig Wolff segment from the MMO Radio cast! Some Highlights he said you may have missed:

1 – If Wright gets re-signed it won’t be because Sandy wants him but because the Owners forced Sandy to sign him due to PR ramifications.He said if the FO had their way they would rather move on from Wright!
2 – This FO would like model us to be like the Tampa Bay Organization (FYI Tampa’s current Payrol is 64.1M 25th in the League!)
3 – This FO’s long term plan is a 10 year worth of losing.

Does that sound like any change for the better is forthcoming anytime soon?
Yeah if you plan on going into a 9 year Coma it’s right around the corner!

Mauer is only worth considering if he can catch every day. Other than that I don’t want him.

Mauer’s value is the fact that he’s a catcher. We know he won’t be there much longer. Before moving him to 1B, remember, he hit over 15 HR once in his career.
