I hear what Rajmahal is saying. Players being buddy-buddy with the coaches and front office is a double-edged sword, IMO. It can improve the locker room and help with chemistry, and also add a sense of accountability in that the players may feel like mistakes are letting down not only teammates and coaches, but friends as well. On the flip side, there will always be guys who see an inch and take a mile, trying to slack off, screw around, or get away with whatever.

I have no idea if either of the above are happening, but as friendly and approachable as our staff and FO may be, I certainly hope they can stick a foot up someone's ass when necessary.
