While I have mixed feelings on Gibbers, everything he said about himself in the first paragraph is completely true, and I would have a hard time disagreeing with his second paragraph.
What I hope (in this case probably hopelessly) want to be true is that last offseason, well pretty much anything since the Happ trade, was a result of pressure from the powers that be to compete and become relevant in the Toronto sports market, and that there is still that good GM from before inside Alex somewhere.
