That's kind of how I was seeing it, though you covered a lot more than I had thought of.
I don't think the nostalgia moves are disproportionate to other organizations aside from there being less to be nostalgic about. More of the Mariners nostalgia is from only a handful of years and players so it seems more than other teams do but I don't think it is.
"I notice that everybody is very skeptical of the M's.  This syndrome may be a bit overboard."
That was refreshing to read. It is hard to find positivity about any move the Mariners make. He further says that the front office has lost the faith of the fans, which could be problematic. (paraphrasing as well). The only way to get it back Is winning. The focus I often see on any move seems like the question began with "how is this move wrong?" Instead of looking at both sides to determine whether it is. The Mariners, while they may have made bad moves in the past, are not responsible for this entirely unscientific process. The people who pre-determine that any moves made by the M's must be bad are responsible for thinking that way. Pros and cons should always have a place in reviewing anything, to ignore either is faulty logic.
