Long time reader, first post. I was as big of a Walt fan as anybody. He made us into a perennial contender. This change might just be for the best though. We have an improving system. I don't want to see the GM trade them all away. I was afraid that Walt would have done just that. Let them grow and become better prospects before we turn them into ML talent through trade. It pains me to see Franklin Morales start for the Rockies knowing that we have a guy that put up similar peripherals at the same level, but will not see the bigs for 2 years. Maybe a new regime will be more willing to promote guys like Garcia more quickly. The Rockies, Tigers, DBacks have all succeeded with that philosophy. Now we should follow suit. Great site first off.
