JP not signing those picks last year meant we had more picks this year, after the planned increase in scouting staff. JP also deserves credit (IMO) for not rushing players for the fan's sake (I'm thinking Romero and Lind specifically).
Also, the pitchers that are currently carrying our staff took their lumps and developed during JP's reign.
This hate-everything-Riccardi attitude kinda reminds me of when Keenan left the Flames - everything bad was his fault and everything good happened in spite of him.
