Hoyer better start winning some games then

I think he'll have to continue to show improvement and if in the next 3 years they aren't solidly contending then yeah he's probably gone to. I think ownership has given him more leeway because of the fact they were asked to reduce payroll. But in 2015, all there big salary obligations will be gone. Most are gone in 2014 other than $13 mil from Sorianoo. In 2015, they probably have $100 million in yearly salary to grow to minus any long term deals they add this off season. So in reality there's not much reason they shouldn't be able to grow into a contender.
