Where is all the "I hate the churn/FZ is an idiot/we need a new GM" chatter these days?

It ended when the players started doing their jobs. Many of them really well.

So, you're saying we DON'T need a new GM.

Got it.

Or maybe he's finally figured out what he is doing.

Or maybe he knows what he is doing, I just don’t like the way he does it.

I have not been quiet about my feelings. I don’t want to be a fan of the A’s. I like consistancy. I like tradition. The churn hurts my brain.

But FZ may have leaned on the churn because ihho, the cupboard was bare when he got here, and he needed to build an expansion team, and that takes time. And MAYBE we are now starting to get harvest from the planting seasons of the past.

Zaidi is the President of Baseball Operations.

Pete Putila is the GM.

This sounds exactly right to me. I think he's really, really smart and has a plan. It's just that the first couple of years was churntastic, which is difficult to watch.

Distinction without meaning. FZ is the guy, irrespective of title.
