For example, the Yankees just won their 10th straight against the A's, their 20th out of 24 against them, in large part because Nick Swisher homered, a player Billy Beane let go and Brian Cashman signed. Yet Cashman is "overrated" and Beane, who has never, ever, EVER built a team that has won so much as a single ALCS game, is a "genius." Can somebody explain that to me?Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631598514243330618.post-48429405789505144742011-06-02T11:02:00.373-07:002011-06-02T11:02:00.373-07:00Gold Gloves are based on reputation a lot of the t...Gold Gloves are based on reputation a lot of the time.

Which is exactly what he is. I would have picked Jeter. Why are we still pretending he's great? Why are we still giving him Gold Gloves? It really baffles me.Week 17 Legendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417757772196558733noreply@blogger.com
