He's not interested in the draft day manipulations of Pritchard or the Midseason Trade Deadline pickups of Whitsitt. He let June 30 pass without using the Paul Allen advantage, the $3 million per year bribe. This is Olshey's 3rd draft & summer here, plus 2 seasons between summers. A month from now when summer signings are over and he's replaced or re-signed Mo, the judgment on him will begin to get harsh.
He's a party boy, resting upon his personality and connections, rather than a go-getter opportunist like Whitsitt, pushing Allen to the edge of the envelope. The Oregonian would annoint him their new Christ if only he would spread a few rumors their way like Pritchard did to grease his own P.R. wheels.
