Memo to Ned Colletti and any other GM

If your team is struggling and has a MAJOR area of weakness, say the Dodgers and Angels offensive ability, and your team is off to a good start, don't dash our hopes by saying you are NOT trying to improve the team. You should ALWAYS be trying to improve the team.

Troy Glaus is the perfect example. Toronto is hurting and will likely be sellers, Glaus should be available and both local teams have the minor league talent to be part of the conversation. Yet, Dead Head Ned comes out this week saying they don't need Glaus and aren't targeting him. Hmmmm as a fan, what would you want from your GM? To have any hopes dashed before they get going or would you like to be teased and lead on, and then end up with Shea Hillenbrand?

TEASE ME! LIE TO ME! I don't care. Make me think you aren't sleeping at your desk. Be like Scott Boras who says he has 30 offers for Client X, when he really only has 1 and then uses that 1 to bid against themselves resulting in a 7 year 105 million dollar contract for Kevin Brown. I like suspense, I like rumors, I like the hot stove. DON'T DASH MY HOPES.

Ned and Bill, YOUR TEAMS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN IT! Do something or at least tell us you are doing something. Thank you,

All Fans
