Long-ball hitters, especially lefties, are indeed reluctant to play here. I don't think Buster can change that. But he should be a draw for pitchers. Meanwhile, let him develop the farm system, plan a draft, and give him four to five years.

I don't agree the one-baseball team town was a factor. The franchisee needed a boost and the fan base wanted a change.
