i have no problem with picking a guy off the scrap heap. thats where tampa bay found marty st louis. some reactive activity by mcphee only allows that when an opportunity presents itself, the team has the flexibility to be open to it.
i am not sure what your definition of proactive might be. the caps have actively gone ou and acquired players to fill needs. ribeiro would be an example of that. knuble and poti and brouwer on off season's past.
is your issue that he hasnt made a big, breakdown the roster core trade or a big future for today trade like the opportunity to get pronger?
Real quick (I gotta head to the Post Office and beat a deadline)... a good example of us as reactive would be having a group of guys selected for their speed and skill, reduced to playing a grinding game, like we did last year.
One 'but'.... they did do a rather good job of it, which I credit mostly to Mr. Hunter.
