Just the fact that they are incapable of understanding the crapshoot nature of the playoffs is so irritating. Just because all of their s***** singles found holes while the hardest ball Donaldson's hit all year found a glove in a key spot doesn't indicate talent superiority.
Yeah the guy who brought in Mark DeRosa, saving him from early retirement, right after the failure that was Omar Vizquel when most of us knew it was a bad idea.
Take everything that guy says about team chemistry at face value, little sheep.
It's not ego. Shapiro will probably want final say on deals since AA tends to make a few stinkers. He'll probably want the FO to embrace analytics, and bottom line is that he's the boss. Paul Beeston got excited when the Jays got a few black guys to give him a track team, and Shapiro will want pitchers evaluated by FIP/xFIP/SIERA/whatever instead of dumb scouting grades.
You're wrong. The Jays won, and the reason couldn't have been an influx of baseball talent or natural regression. It was because Tulo offered handys to all the regulars.
Pretty neat that you ignored the word "probably" and then didn't process that the logic is pretty sound. Where's the assumption? It's like you have a pentium II in a world of quad cores
Use your own insult f*** head!
