Oh, I think they sold a bit low on Teo but he was wildly inconsistent. With him I think it's mental as his highs are very high, and his low slumps are very low. As a fan how could we not be happy they moved on from him? I'm just a little surprised that the upgrade wasn't really one. I'm totally fine with the philosophy of cheaping out on OF, but I don't think they've really upgraded yet overall as a team. There are still changes coming, but with every passing day more teams solidify their lineups. I do trust management but my initial thoughts after a sense of urgency at the end of last season, expected a bit more by this point. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they've steered clear of all those big contracts this off-season, but I'm also not too happy they've lost out on certain guys like Kenley.
