You bring a proper balance to the DiPoto conversation, Ice. Results have so far been mixed.
DiPoto's initial years in Seattle will be judged on whether he is able to leverage the current window of opportunity into the playoffs in both 2017 and 2018, with one of those years getting past the opening rounds. All the accounting of this guy vs. that guy will be overtaken by this larger context. We can put up with some poop if the DiPoto achieves that which he said was his task when he took over, filling in better around his outstanding core of players, and doing so before their production declines significantly.
