The problem with Shatkins is that they're taking over from a GM whom was incompatible with them. But in the eyes of most Jays fans, the years of mediocrity thru AA's tenure are forgoften because he took them to the playoffs for the
first time in a generation. So Shatkins is seen as a usurper and many Jays fans and I'd include fangraphs readers here too, want the success to continue, but don't understand that the team wasn't built to last. The Jays FO is in a f***Y position where they don't know what to do and it doesn't look great on them. Plus, I wouldn't consider the Jays fanbase on fangraphs to be that much more intelligent than the average Jays fan.
