I agree with RR and Heltonfan. Those types of rankings are largely influenced by the TEAM'S success, or lack thereof, and are poorly researched lists. Obviously, the comment doesn't reflect the recent success of the farm system and some of the "Gen R" players that have come from it.

Having said that, I have lost my esteem for DOD in the past 18 months, and find him to be disingenuous when he speaks for attribution. As Jackass points out, his claim that we had "no roster space" to make a move last July was as poor and weak an excuse as he could have conjured up, and he knows it.

I also wonder if DOD learned to "pray" with Charlie, Keli, and Clint on conference calls as a form of "job insurance". It wouldnt' surprise me.
