They owned the team during the '06 draft and offseason. Don't get cute - your statement was incorrect. I get your point, but it was still incorrect.
I think you and the LAC bunch need to realize that the Lerners, aside from obviously making some mistakes, have also been faced with a lot more than the average adversity faced by owners of a rebuilding team. If they cheap out this offseason, I will be as pissed as anyone, but let's not jump to conclusions about their performance thus far.
i'm no trying to nibble. i meant what i said and i later included w/ 07 being their first full year.
and adversity? outside of the crappy TV deal and a crummy farm system what have they faced?
not saying spending money saves all, but it's a start. they have spent some on the farm system (which i have applauded them for), but rarely anything on the major league product since taking over. and it shows. lol back-to-back 100 loss seasons with tons of work left to do to get better.
whatever that's enough lerner bashing for me tonight. bull durham is on. i think that team could beat the nats.
