I've been on the various iterations of this board since Wendy was in charge and I'll stand by my comment.

Maybe it's just that the loudest voices in opposition to the F.O. tend to be consistent and persistent in their criticism of owners and F.O. (Mark A is cheap, etc). In addition to pretty much EVERY manager this century.

The Crew are winning IN SPITE OF 2- time manager of the year Murphy seems to be the consensus opinion. 

If you think it's 95% positive, then I don't know what to tell you. 

So have I. I don't know if it's 95 or 92% positive, obviously that was a bit hyperbolic, but you saying this board is overly critical of the front office is just objectively ridiculous. I don't know if you only go to the Game Threads... I stay away as they're the most negative threads on the board, but look at this very trade. 

The majority of this board would have said the front office was right if they'd made this trade or if they hadn't because that's what they did. They just traded an 18-year-old that Baseball America had as a top 100 prospect, Fangraphs as the 43rd best prospect, a kid who looked to EVERYONE else 3 days ago like the next great IFA acquisition... and now, well, he's struggling in A ball because he's "only" got a 750 OPS at 18(to say nothing of Ragsdale, though I'm actually fine with trading him as you're at least LIKELY trading him when his value is high. You're likely trading Frias just just as he starts his ascent, now the #4 prospect in the Cards system and most the board is still defending THAT trade.
