Play GM, fix the Skins...

[Longtimefan]

It's going to be difficult to fix this team until the FO changes it's phisosophy about how to aquire players, how to pay players, and what players to pay and/or aquire. We must reverse this trend of year after year paying huge bonuses to has been players, or players with little left to warrant the way they're compensated because in so doing it prohibits you from being able to sign much needed players for depth. We can see now that after our first twenty two, there's a tremendous dropoff, and some included in our twenty two would not, or could not be starters on many teams.

I have never been a strong proponent of free-agency, it has it's advantages, but not to the extent of which we utilize it. This team need lots of fixing, but I think we start with the philosophy of team building first, and go from there. Draft your team, and use FA to to shore up selected areas that can't be addressed through the draft as opposed to constantly dumping boat loads of money into players that will deliver limited service in the long run.
Chang the philosophy, fix the team.
