Thanks for the compliment. Admittedly, I'm not a Detroit fan (or follower), just intrigued by their system as a whole as I try to branch out to teams I don't know much about.

I'll have to do some historical research to better understand. I do think it would be fair to wait a couple of seasons to see how Graham truly plays out because he recently hired all new hitting and pitching coordinators. One of the new pitching coordinators was Casey Mize's coaches from Auburn. Then again, I could be completely off base after doing some research into the past decade of Detroit player development. Also, the scouts should be held accountable as well because let's be honest, some guys just aren't coach-able and have no work ethic (aka Elijah Dukes).
