THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.

Today, we center the discussion on the factors that could be associated with the Tigers? lack of progress.

As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!

With stories about the failing Tigers? rebuild pouring out in the national media on a regular basis, analysts are discussing the reasons why.

All of them ultimately agree that a failure to progress ultimately resides on the GM?s shoulders. But is there one single reason for the lack of progress or multiple ones?

The subjects below have all been mentioned as factors. But which single one do you believe has done the most damage in preventing this organization from moving forward?

Which one has done the most damage in preventing this organization from moving forward?

1. The owner
2. The Front Office heads
3. Drafting/Scouting
4. Bad trades
5. Building exclusively through one source (the draft)
6. The player development system

1. The owner
2. The Front Office heads
3. Drafting/Scouting
4. Bad trades
5. Building exclusively through one source (the draft)
6. The player development system

All share culpability, but to post an old cliche....SHIT rolls downhill!
