Nice article from an outside source about Falvey.

It's a good and reassuring read even if it's light on specifics.

 

Last off season I said I'd give the new front office a year to evaluate what they had in their coaches, front office staff and players before I'd get too concerned that they were keeping too many holdovers.

 

This spring I've been less patient as I wanted the young guys to play and had/have no interest in watching journeymen vets with low upside on the team. If Falvey really thinks he can identify which players in the system can be salvaged and fixed, I'll give him a year to prove it even if the players end up being fixed in Chattanooga and Rochester.

Agreed. It's easy to say ahead of time you need to be patient, it is less easy/fun to be so when needed. Kind of like starting a business, you know you'll lose money at first, but even though you PLAN FOR IT, doesn't mean you like it....
