Nope. Not this time unless FO wants to play ball and nothing else like winning.Until JD trades him to make more room for Choo and next year's version of Pence.

I have had my shares of issues with our front office and JD in particular. There were lots of issues prior to this past year. Then this past year we have had the following.
Too many TJ pitchers in the rotation.
Didn't get rid of Choo in the offseason.
Didn't trade Minor in the offseason
Handled Calhoun wrong for the better part of the year.
Handled Odor wrong all year long, and especially in not sending him down when he still could be sent down.
Didn't trade Minor, Choo or Pence at the deadline.
I believe we had a higher draft choice not sign with us than most any other teams had.
Refused to commit to a rebuild program and instead tried to go half way in and half way out.
Is too committed to Mazara and wouldn't send him down.
If someone can think of any thing I missed please feel free to mention it.
Yet he can do no wrong since we don’t hear anything from ownership. I usually enjoy quiet out of the spotlight owners but I sure wish we heard more from them.I have had my shares of issues with our front office and JD in particular.

He doesn't spend much of their money so they are very satisfied. Maybe they will take their gains and sell the team, and an owner will step in who wants to build a championship team no matter what it takes or how long it takes to do it right.Yet he can do no wrong since we don’t hear anything from ownership.

Follow the Jerry Jones model. Nice new stadium, sell a bunch of jerseys, run whole bunch of events not related to Baseball, make money repeat.It means this team will not compete for the next 3 or 4 years.
A bit of both. But comforted him that the Minor deal would just tick him off too given the last three outings.Calmly or upset?

Maybe a new combo of Greenberg and Cuban.In hindsight, I guess we all should’ve rooted for the Jim crane / Mark Cuban group a long time ago.
How has signing Minor helped us to compete for a WS? How does keeping him 14 more months help in that area? It has allowed us to win a few more games each of the years he has been here and that is all. Building a championship is all that matters and that could never or never will be done in the life of Minor's contract. The same most likely could be said for the life of Lynn's contract.Picking up Pence and Calhoun were not bad moves. Signing Minor and Lynn has proven shrewd that many thought would backfire.
The rest of the budget evidently allowed money for TJ guys. Don’t like the budget but what can you do.
It’s not all negative. All sunshine and rainbows when we are competing. We don’t unload no matter what and he’s incompetent. Guess all are entitled to an opinion.
No joy in Mudville
Haha. Maybe the good decision of the owners to sell to new ownership.Disappointing day to most of us. With some good decisions this team can go forward.
Pick up a guy like Cole in the offseason. Maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle. Flipping Minor for junk no matter what is not my opinion of what was needed.How has signing Minor helped us to compete for a WS? How does keeping him 14 more months help in that area?

There is nothing shrewd happening. Shrewdness doesn't create mediocrity it creates greatness. No greatness is being built here. Shrewdness picks up guys like Minor, Pence and Lynn in down years for the simple goal of flipping them for pieces at deadline time to help later on down the line.
Trying to catch lightning in a bottle is for losers. Why don't we just invest in horseshoes and rabbit's feet and hire some witch doctors?Pick up a guy like Cole in the offseason. Maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle. Flipping Minor for junk no matter what is not my opinion of what was needed.
Teams learn to win. You should have known we were not in a total rebuild when we signed Lynn but you did not like that move either. If in total rebuild then move Gallo
Believe hearing that was said when we signed them and for longer contracts instead of jds usual one year deals. Flipping them. Ether way it puts more heat on JD this off season.How has signing Minor helped us to compete for a WS? How does keeping him 14 more months help in that area?
