I've never said he wasn't a good player so you don't need to try and convince me. It's just every time you post about the Indians, its about how Grady will come back and be this star player, when we both don't know how he will come back. Your posts are like boobies, just the same repetitive shit (sorry). Also if he does come back, I hope he's moving to LF with Brantley at CF and Choo at RF.
Also what has Dolan accomplished? I like that Lerner has deep pockets and willing to spend to make the team better. The goal of any owner of a sports franchise is to win a championship. Since the return, Dolan and Gilbert have come the closest to that, no doubt. He also has as many championships as all 3 teams since 1999, which is 0. Obviously, Lerner is an idiot about spending money, but at least he spends. And he finally seemed to get it right this time (Holmgren and Heckert). I just don't see us winning a championship under Dolan which sucks.
I'm not saying spend like the Bankees or any other large market team, but some where around 80-90mil is perfect for me every year. That basically makes us competitive while keeping good talent. Once we dump our minor league talent into the big leagues, we need to find the keepers and lock them up immediately. Hopefully this offseason we can lock up Choo (or at least a short extension keeping him while in his prime) and Cabrera and next year Santana. That will keep the fans interested and show Dolan wants to win.
It's not about convincing your diehards (they'll come no matter what), but rather your average to non average fan, that this team is good and competitive. So far, they all have seen the Cavs being successful so naturally they want to see them play. Now that all these teams are equally bad, one team is going to come out on top and grab the attention of the neutral fans.
