That's it, earning your spot. Goes both ways cause he didn't really bring anyone in that can help if they don't make the cut right away either.

If his plan falters a bit, he basically did cut out another season.

Yankees bullpen is falling apart, Jay's aren't really taking advantage of it.

Nah. It won't. Not anytime soon. We'd get our very own Doob-ass though.

Terry (frank)in LOVES Kevo. You can take that to the bank.

He does, but he also has a reputation of being impatient. If this team takes a step backwards next year, it would not shock me.

I know he loves Kevin, he trusts him. With what is going on with Kim, I think it happens sooner than expected because of that trust.

This operation runs the same with or without Kim. The only thing that will change that is if guys like Karmanos and Ventura outgrow their current positions and have done too (frank)ing well to let go, so they need to promote everyone. I think this happened in Colorado.

yeah, he does. but this iteration is different than what darcy started, murray and botts attempted. the latter two had a team built and all it did is spin its tires. kevo is growing a brand new product. and that product (fair to say this past season was year 1) has already performed as well overall as good as Botts and Murray's best season. Take the last two months and its the best team since, what 2011?

They even addressed this point publicly. Without pulling up the transcripts, they stated that the teams operate the same with or without Kim and they believe in their organizations. I think that was Ron Raccuia

Ron Raccuia used to be a sports agent. In fact, I believe he represented Coy Wire among others, not huge names, but he's been in that game. He's made a career of talking people up and he's very good at it. I don't have anything against him, but if there is trouble in PSE, you're never going to hear it from him nor should you expect to.

Crazy post

You really think KA and Donnie are on the hot seat with a bad season? A budget team in a stacked draft year?

Seems were following 2 different franchises.

I think we're dealing with an owner that's been anything but predictable since the day he bought the team.
