No doubt about this......I love our FO (though this was not their best season in signings and who they let go) but would be great if the owner wanted to win like the other 2 in town. Maybe when Blitzer takes control though I don't know much about him.Cleveland has to catch lightning in a bottle to win it all. they have come close several times but their best runs were back when the Financials were closer
It's pretty easy to see in my own team. Detroit went from one of the worst teams in baseball history in 03 to the world series in 06. Smart trades and a committed owner. So we are year 7 in the rebuild in Detroit because his son is a cheap fuck.
In no other sport does location and owner matter more. As you pointed out Billy Beane won fuck all in the playoffs despite completely changing how people saw analyzing talent
