As Wille Nelson said, yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow is out of sight.
The future is what we have so let's see what happens.

Banny was supposed to be all about the new analytics himself, wasn't he?From what I remember Maddox wanted to be the manager and when it became clear he was not going to get that he pursued things and ultimately settled for a more glamorous job with D.C.
Definitely more a people friendly coach than Brocail IMO but we have gone the full metrics route since that which I am interested to see how it plays out
The Teixeira trade and the Hamilton trade were the bulk of the reason for his success as GM. Add those to the Lee trade and the Beltre signing and that gave us our great 2 years.I still think he’s paid a price for the teixera trade. That trade was so awesome that the rest of the league was shocked and all of their front offices made a note to “watch out for this guy”. We experienced a prolonged “fall out” from the deal.
It seems like the trades since the Atlanta deal have been lackluster at best and we’ve paid a steep price in all of them. The Cubs seem to have gotten the better of us in all of our deals. The lucroy trade could rival the San Diego trade (adam Eaton for Adrian Gonzalez) as his all time worst. The dodger trade has not shaped up to be a good one. I hated it at the time, and haven’t seen anything good become of it yet. My hopes are pinned on AJ Alexy developing into something decent. Calhoun is a LA diva who thinks he’s Bryce harper.
We were also subjected to a “brain drain” of sorts. Nolan is in Houston, Levine is in Minnesota, and preller is in San Diego.
He has done a very good job in building our farm up though.
He got the two big fish w/K'sGood start by minor. The angels have a spot starter tonight. Maybe we can take advantage.
I gotta say that minor has been better than I expected so far.
And you have to know when to hold them; know when to fold em; know when to walk away and know when to run....As Wille Nelson said, yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow is out of sight.

Santana has been a nice addition so far. Hope he hangs in.
Hope to sign AC for another 2 yrs.
