And then, some people want people other than Brandon, Overdorf, Littman and Buddy running the team. If Whaley was that good, he'd officially be the GM . I'd love to be pleased and Marrone may be a good hire, but unless he gains a lot of power, this team will struggle to be relevant. I think the organization is rotten at the top. That's my opinion. Counts as much as yours. Don't care if I'm right or not.
