I actually like AA. I just think preventing the Jays from hiring Shapiro because we have AA is silly. Shapiro is a good baseball mind and would be a good president. My point is AA hasn't done anything yet. 2013 we were considered "contenders" at the beginning of the season and by some, during that win streak. Fizzled. Last year? No additions at the deadline, and we dropped out. This year we're having a great season but again, it's results-based. IF AA misses, that's on him.
And by the way, does anyone watch other teams? The fact that AA is so overhyped here makes me think you don't watch the Cardinals. Somehow they've managed to re-tool while still competing for the playoffs. So have the Giants. This is what I mean when I say AA is not the king of GMs like some here believe.
