[QUOTE="DakotaT, post: 199499, member: 464"] It has worked for us because we first had to bottom out, get control of our cap and flood our roster with youth. Next year we can try to take some home run shots with free agency. The way we were doing things under Shermand and Wolf was to try and tweak the roster each year with a guy or two and make another run. The mistake we made in those years was allowing our depth to erode and giving max contracts to the corp star players and underfilling other positions with less than marginal talent. I'm not blaming anyone because when you are drafting in the twenties every year, it is difficult to keep a solid roster. We now have talent all over the field, but I don't think we are quite there yet. We have a chance this year, but there are two or three teams with better rosters than we have. I am very pleased with our team this year, and any wins we are yet to have is just icing on the cake. Thompson and McCarthy have done an extraordinary job in a short period of time, and those that have denigrated Thompson shame on you! I am happy the national media is giving him his kudos. He's earned them. [/QUOTE]
