Como en el principio de Peter, creemos que Mike Elias ha alcanzado su nivel de incompetencia y por esa razón es necesario que se vaya, a sacar del hoyo a otro equipo y cuando lo tenga más o menos reflotado, que se vaya a buscar otro y así como en el ciclo de la vida. Necesitamos en su momento a un tipo como Mike Elias y estuvimos con él, le acompañamos en la travesía por el desierto. Pero ahora necesitamos a un Dombrowski que sepa administrar un equipo con presupuesto grande, que invierta en la agencia libre, que quiera armar un equipo para ganar la serie mundial, porque recordemos que Rubenstein no tiene mucho tiempo para esperar a ganar una serie mundial.
