Interview with AJ Preller (might get lost amongst WS stuff, but good read)

Lasst year in Tampa after winning the first round of the playoffs, Nellie comes up to Servais in the middle of the celebration and hugs him and says, “Hey, thank you for making my career.” That shows what kind of person Nellie is.

Their success can be attributed entirely to other teams shortsightedness and/or outright stupidity. The Braves gifted them with a franchise for a move that did not help them, the Reds were just plain stupid and A’s/Brewers just couldn’t hire the right people to identify the issue with Cruz. I don’t like the Rangers for political/divisional reasons (Not a fan of Bush or Ryan & am an A’s fan)

same guy:

. The Braves were massively short-sighted in making that deal, unless you are absolutely certain an elite talent is going to get you over the line, you need to just sit on your hands. AZ did the same thing with getting Haren, and the A’s did it with Holliday. In all 3 examples, all 3 teams would have been better off holding steady with what they had. “Prospects rarely pan out” uh, 1st rounders generally do.

The Reds traded a masher who has the highest ceiling in baseball who mashed for them, for a pitcher, one for one. I can’t off the top of my head think of a team who ever traded a pitcher for a hitter straight up and came out on top. Stupid move by the Reds. Just bad. Might as well trade Jay Bruce for Rich Harden or something similar. Its that dumb

but wait, there is more (from the same guy):

You make me sick. W was the worst president in the history of earth (any country). He ruined all the fantastic work by Clinton, who really was the best president since Kennedy.

God I hate Rangers fans so much. MLB decides to focus on blowing up your region, a bunch of teams give you gifts for nothing and now you think youre the best because of other teams making mistakes. Fake good.
