I frequently wonder if this team would be better off if it was ran by a committee of people on this board.

Been saying that since the days of Zdurencik...or even Bavasi.

I really would rather put my trust in a bunch of people on here running the show if it meant looking for the talent we so desperately needed. Makes me wonder what the current people in charge REALLY have planned for them...

I could understand it if the moves that our GMs have made were questionable and worked out well, but that hasn't been the case. 90%+ of the time, our board consensus has been pretty accurate regarding the moves we've made. I think that's the biggest thing that frustrates me. A bunch of fucking fans seem to have better ideas than the actual professionals who run this team.

I'm still in my late 20s, I have a JD and MBA, maybe now is my chance to make the switch to the sports industry...

I think some of the people on this board would honestly do a better job managing this team...

I just don't get the direction or vision Jerry is taking us on. His actions aren't moves for the future or moves to make them better now.

I get that this isn't the rotation he set up but coming into the season 4 starters had serious injury concerns and Gallardo just has flat out sucked the past few years.

Five errors in one inning against the Yankees this past Sunday...
Pitching buckles against the Orioles yesterday...
Batters chicken out today...
