I think to sum up Shapiro and Atkins.. They have a good business plan on paper.. I am not sure when they promised a Return on investment/Profits (WINS) to Rogers.
The fact is, everything you do as an organization whether drafting, spring training facilities, technology, etc is all to achieve success at for the ML team. So far they have not achieved that. I think historically, GMs have had 5 years to show results. I think we are going in the right direction, but again at the end of the day we still do not have a return on investment/profits (WINS).
It is great that we have a top 5 system or that our AA or A ball teams are winning... However, our ML team is still not. I am willing to give them until the 2020 team. If the 2020 team does not get a playoff spot or is in the hunt until the last day.. I will think that we need to start questioning their performance.
