Not really. Speaking for myself, my regard for AA's competence collapsed when he completely abandoned his previously stated philosophy of building a club from the ground up, concentrating on maintaining a strong farm, developing from within and adding key FA's only when the core was ready to go. This past offseason was a joke, and many here knew it. The guy morphed into Bryan f***ing Colangelo, FFS.
He started out claiming he wanted to set us up for perpetual contention. He abandoned that, and now we have, at best, a 2 year window after this season with the oldest roster in MLB and no farm. Dude f***ed us royally.
