I like his takes most of the time... but he occasionally goes off the deep end with arrogance/insults.
Kinda like his old boss.

Yes. Exactly. De Podesta is going to have to be a good little boy and play nice for a long time before he gets a chance to run another operation.

De Podesta was by far the biggest a-hole I ever talked to in my sports career. Even bigger than Bob Feller.

Any word on who or how good the PTBNL will be?

Whoa, Rany is a dermatologist and graduated from Hopkins. Wow, I pictured a blogger holed up in his basement or soemthing.

Derm basically means he was around the top of his class at Hopkins. :eek:

I don't have a problem with Law's opinion at all. When a GM does something as stupid as DM did, it opens that person up to criticism and valid speculation.

To me, Law's comments were pretty tame because he didn't openly speculate about Dayton's level of competence, which should also be fair game.

Fine to criticize. Certainly enough there to criticize.

But questioning the moral integrity of GMs is going to upset most of them. Just comes off personal and petty (fans can do it. Journalists can't).

I would bet on a lower-level 2012 draftee. Probably not anything too exciting.

I wouldn't mind it being Bralin Jackson. 5th round pick, CF from Raytown who can run and has some power projection.

Benjamin Franklin.

Heh. I confused PTBNL with PIIHB there for a second.

Fansy the Famous Bard 12-11-2012 03:21 PM
I don't think it's too far fetched to speculate Dayton would be the catcher in that scenario.

I was just told by a top major league exec that The #Tigers were heavily involved in discussions for Shields before #Royals landed him.

What did they have? Castellanos? So what, that isn't near enough to get it done. Wonder why they thought they had the dry powder to get Shields.

I was thinking of J.P. Ricciardi.

Avisail Garcia was the top guy they offered among others.
