If that's actually his mentality, then it's JP Ricciardi all over again. Not letting this team rebuild, but not being good either. Being the ultimate .500 team. This isn't the NBA Eastern Conference, .500 doesn't get you in playoffs. Either go for playoffs or develop young talent.

If they actually decide to just be a middle team again, then that's even worse than rebuilding. At least rebuilding fans will know your plan and know you're trying to get better for the future(look at the Leafs and how much fans jumped on that rebuilding bandwagon. Fans have never had more fun losing because they believed in the Leafs plan for the future)..

Just hope this doesn't hurt baseball in Toronto. Really don't know if this market can take another decade or two with being a non playoff team. Bad enough going 2 decades without a playoff berth, but possibly having those 15-16 seasons being the only playoffs in a 30-40 year timespan....The market can't survive that can they?
