Duquette's interviews on MLB radio recently have been pretty interesting. Talking about how the ownership and Front Office have admitted that they are years behind in staffing, systems and of course international scouting/spending. And more importantly they have committed to provide the funds needed to get caught up. Duquette did make it sound like he'd still be part of the future though, which is unexpected. I love watching the O's fail and it looks like they will do so for the next while but it should be interesting to watch and see how they can work with a clean state and starting with virtually nothing (the first overall pick, by all accounts Bobby Witt Jr, is probably your best asset and KC is trying hard to f*** that up for you).
