I think the tide is really turning, Irish.

I think us letting Dockery walk, getting rid of AA and that monster contract, bringing back Smooty and Omare S. for a reasonable deals. And let's not discount how we locked up Betts before he could hit the open market and break the bank. These things tell me we are pointing in a new direction.

There's no doubt we've had some misses on evaluting talent, but who hasn't? We've had some really good draft picks who are still around and some solid FA pickups. Wade is one of the first to jump out at me.

My main issue with the Skins is not who bring in, per se, but that we don't get as much bang for our buck like the premium franchises.
