Guys, Shapiro likes to have prospects. A LOT. In fact, he'll take prospects that are MLB ready and trade em for more prospects.Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

Until then, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they most often stink

This from the Star:
To say Anthopoulos rejected an extension is ridiculous. The new offer from ownership and incoming president Mark Shapiro would take away the final say on player personnel moves, handing them to the new guy who had discovered in his role as a business-only Indians president, that he missed his role as a trade/free-agent power broker like an alcoholic misses Jaeger bombs.

I will concede that in some ways it was similar here at through the first 3-4 mos. but then with the moves the team caught fire....but the hire (and promises to Shapiro) were already made. Timing.
Shapiro didn't come to Toronto to fail but a couple of things concern me. First, the Indians' drafts in the Shapiro era have been gawdawful. Second, Shapiro's experience is operating a small market team that has no money. Third, say what you want about AA, but he restocked a broken farm system and then, just for good measure, emptied it out and restocked it again. He put a winner on the field in 6 years with a major league roster that was a mess 5 years ago. Shapiro had as many good years in a decade and a half in Cleveland as AA had in 6. And now there's such a fundamental difference with Shapiro he leaves? That's slightly disconcerting.
