There was a lot of excitement and hope that he would make a difference in how this FO operates, which was encouraged after the KP trade worked out and after the Wood trade. He got a ton of praise for those two moves and some honorable mentions for Hardy, but when shit started going bad he has not been mentioned at all. Its been all Cuban or "the FO".The FO IS Nico, I don’t understand this crusade. It’s pretty natural to think when there is a big change like the GM being replaced that anything that seems a bit contrary to what had been happening is the new guy putting his stamp on things while the status quo is at least as much about those who haven’t left as it is him, if not more. I myself lumped Finley and even Dirk as a consultant as part of keeping the status quo.
