It is amusing to hear Miami Marlins boss Derek Jeter note he is not a patient man, when patience is what he is asking of the team's fans, along with blind faith, of course. It is amusing to hear Jeter bemoan the Marlins' embarrassing attendance when his own fire sale-and-reboot business model is such a part of the root cause.
Jeter is preaching that rebuilding from the farm system up will produce sustainable winning. Someday. Maybe. The only guarantee in all this is that in the long meantime his and majority owner Bruce Sherman's profit margin will be robustly healthy while the youthful, bargain rosters grow up by degrees.
