This.
It's is small, but it is nice to know that he picked us over other teams, even if it's because we have his former coaches.
He is a decent pick up, a talented fast kid on the cheap and those never hurt...I think what is actually exciting about it is more that the team isn't going to sit on it's hands and wait for bargain basement shopping like in that past. That is a luxury that good teams have, and Baalke's ego wouldn't let him recognize how bad the roster had gotten...he refused to change his process and concede the need for a rebuild. A bad team has to pay for some free agents, a bad team cant draft injured kids and see if they heal.
