I think you'll see plenty of patience when the rebuild starts actually building something positive. So far it seems all the flames have built is a wonderfully oiler-ish attitude that losing is just a-ok.

Seriously? Burke has been on the job for 36 days in the middle of the season, and is getting critisized for not drafting anyone yet? He has signed a few prospects.
What makes you think losing is ok? Would you rather he make a bunch of trades to build the team how he wants, before he hires a GM in the summer? Or would you rather he give the next GM the best setup he can? Or are you worried that he hasn't made any draft picks since Dec 12? He has made a callup from the minor league team.
Its funny, if Burke made a whole bunch of trades, all the complaining would be that he wants to be a GM and its proof he just wants a puppet, or that he's a control freak or whatever. If he does little transactions, he's accused of coasting and trying to lose on purpose.
