I am saying delinquent in terms of pure spending on the operation from top to bottom relative to where they fit in terms of revenue and revenue potential.
The five years that MLB ran the organization stripped the franchise of talent at every level. And what little talent remained, disappeared when the team moved to Washington. I'm talking about just the players but coaches,scouts,front office people hell even the switchboard operator. There is absolutely nothing that the Washington Nationals have in common with the Montreal Expos organization that was exceptional at developing players. Maybe it was Bill Stoneman's influence but Washington hasn't been able to turn the corner with the current philosophy and need to realize that they have to increase player payroll to put a better MLB product on the field. Not signing two FA starters in a depressed market is the sign of obSTANacy (sic) I my opinion and not necessarily cheapness.
