Conroy seemed adamant to give guys on the farm a chance before going out and filling holes with vets. Seems like a philosophical change and hope they are sincere about this approach. I don’t mind rewarding former players with positions in the organization as this group seems to understand the right path forward and are high quality individuals.

We can rationalize it all we want but really won't know if it's different, better or worse until it happens and plays out. If it even happens as it's all speculation at this point.
