This narrative isn't even Ballard's. It's something some fans push because they want to hold Ballard up as infallible. Which makes no sense.

Again. Criticism isn't hate. No one is saying "Ballard is the worst GM and should be fired" or even saying he's doing a bad job. No one is perfect or above criticism.

I don't hold him up as infallible in the least. I do think he has done a better job than most would have. I would love to discuss his mistakes. The complaint seems to be he should have signed some really good players. OK Who?
