Hart shouldn't be back. How could the President of Baseball Operations be so in the dark about what's going on...in baseball operations? Dude needs to be shown the door. No excuses for him not knowing anything and not doing anything about it before it got to this point.
I don't really think that's a fair thing to say, honestly. I think Albies is the real deal, and if Acuna is everything he looks to be, then that will be huge. Then there's Freddie Freeman, and yeah, I know he's been around a while now, but it doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon. He still gets better every year. So there's three guys right there. As for pitching, I like Fried and I like Gohara. I'll admit Folty is still a huge question mark, but some pitchers take more time than others. Hell, even Julio is only 26. We have a pretty solid core. I don't think the Astros comparison is that far off. Not quite the same, but not too far off.
Good. It's nice to finally have someone who has been there, done that and actually gives a damn to know about, you know, the stuff he's responsible for overseeing (f***ing John Hart). Anyway, need to find a link to the presser. Gonna listen to it on my may home from work.
Won't be up til later tonight probably, but www.680thefan.com will have a recording of it at some point tonight.
I love how, in his statement, he offered no apology for basically not giving a damn about anything going on underneath him, and instead, just thanked everyone.
