Yes, I'd say that's a much better analogy than comparing them to a perennial loser with an established history.
Of course they could turn out to be the Washington Nationals.. and no one wants that.  |
The Marlins won the World Series more through Free Agency than through the expansion draft. That said, they and the Arizona Diamondbacks both did something very hard to do in professional sports, especially for a young, growing team.
It's honestly great to see Curt carrying over that winning attitude with this new venture. You definitely want someone who truly aspires to be the best in their field running a company.
