If we look at the whole body of work, he did better than a lot of people expected while trying to navigate a number of challenges. He couldn't sign a player who had limited destinations which was more hampered by teams that didn't have a first to offer. He still had to negotiate with these teams while they had a leg up They got a player they wanted and a first,let's look at his whole body of work and cut Conroy some slack. Treliving never got roasted this much for letting guys walk.

I'm guessing posters probably think Conroy should have done the Burke Balk so that he could keep his reputation in order - which is much better than getting actual value back.
