i guess i look at it differently
i took his quotes as saying this is the kind of ball club we prefer and the kind of players we are looking for. if the new GM wants to sit and discuss that with me i would be more than happy to do so.
i saw no arrogance in that quote whatsoever.
to me the biggest thing between him and Dipoto was that Dipoto didnt get the type of players that sosh felt fit what the ball club was looking for
i am not placing blame, but they had 2 different ideas on which direction the ball club was headed and ultimately it just didnt work out, so its better to be on the same page before the season even starts, then have crap hit the fan once again
