GREENBEAN Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Whether you like these guys or not, it sure is good to have an entirely new scouting crew in here. Keeping Bradway around through 3 regimes was ridiculous. Especially with our draft record. If nothing changes... nothing changes. This is good to clean house and get in a fresh new team who want to make a mark in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
