I like what Walters had to say too. I hope he can follow through with it. I don't expect the fans to give him much leeway, just because he is new to the GM chair. The fans expect a winning team and

I see a lot of people unhappy with the Walters hire, people wanting more experience in their GM.
Personally, I'm okay with this hire. I'm not ecstatic about it, but I don't hate it. I don't really buy in to this being the easy hire either. Miller has had 4 months to see how Walters does his job, strategize with him about the expansion draft, and see how he works, understand his philosophy. Miller isn't going to hire anyone he doesn't believe is going to work. People just don't do their job to fail. Being his first hire, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here.
I would have been okay with Higgins as well, but it would be the same thing, not ecstatic about it, but a wait and see attitude.
About the only hire that would have made me ecstatic is Buono, Popp, or Hufnagel, which really wasn't going to happen.
So, a simple yes or no question, how do you feel about the Walters hire?
