I honestly think that is one of the more attractive things for Shapiro to come here - having having the resources to speed up change and not completely tear down and rebuild but make retooling tweaks here and there. We have come a long way from the s***** black-jersey angry-faced Jays days where it wasn't attractive to play in Toronto and the stadium was half empty.
On a side note: I cannot take any AA bashing here! What he did was s*** in the large scheme of things in terms of the future, but he gave us 2 ALCS runs, and replaced Lawrie + Reyes with Donaldson + Tulo. And honestly in the grand scheme of things, if only we didnt pull the trigger on the Dickey deal we would be in much better shape right now imo, even the Miami deal at the end of the day they wouldn't have made a big difference to our ALCS runs
