I dont' see Ballard being big into trading picks but I do see him as someone who, when the time is right, will spend big on free agents whom he things are the "right" guy.

We will see. I think we will be a winning team inside of 3 years (in 2018, personally), and I think we will use the first part of free agency in the future when we are closer to contending.

But now? Yeah, I want holes filled and Ballard has a different plan than how I wanted it to be. I need to get over it.

Walk Worthy,

I don’t have the same faith you do that Ballard will change tactics after he’s built his core, but I certainly hope that’s the case. Otherwise I agree. I don’t like the way he’s going about it, but it’s time to get over it and hope for the best. It should be better than what we’ve gotten for the last few years and for that I’m thankful.
