After reading through this thread, lots of people obviously have an emotional attachment to AA for bringing playoff baseball back to Toronto. Which is fair given the playoffs aren't even over yet. I would have liked to have seen what AA had in store for this offseason.
But the aggressiveness of Shapiro should give any Jays fan confidence in him. He's coming in and taking a hold of the bull by the horns. No pussy footin' around and worrying about hurting anyone's feelings. If you're going to give the guy full power, this is the way you'd like to see him approach it.
Here's hoping AA's next job is on the NL.
