That's what Inkara1 told us

Two asides: Gac’s last name is pronounced “Jack,” so he says; and the Blaze logo looks like a burning pot leaf.

That's not my website.
I noticed that, too.
I just like all the pictures going back to the 1972.

Spoiler
He’s quite high on the Rangers system and depth of talent.

Actually
That was very dissapointing. All they actually have is two clips of Joe, one of him praising our four 2008 all-stars, and one of him saying the appropriate way to build a team is to build from within. They didn’t even give him a chance to get stupid.
Then again, I suppose that is probably the entire depth of Joe’s knowledge of the Texas Rangers right there, so…

Morgan surprisngly isn't that dumb of a guy
He just is a stubborn tool who has stopped caring about keeping up with baseball the day after he retired.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
