I don't need to let him work. I already know he's going to give the checkbook to Werner and Henry. At least he has a decent history of trading players and getting a good return.
I was comparing the situation to how you viewed Porcello, not their output.
To me, DUMBrowski let ownership make several dumb moves in Detroit. What will prevent that here?
In Detroit, DUMBrowski let the owner bend him over and signed long contracts with Fielder, Verlander, Martinez, eyc. What will prevent him from signing future Pandas and Hanleys if the ownership is the same?
@iamjoonlee: Terry Francona flipped off NESN cameras as @DonOrsillo and Jerry Remy told old Francona stories. Dying.
@unexpectedbass: HOLY f*** TITO FLIPPED OFF ORSILLO BECAUSE THE CLUBHOUSE HAS THE NESN FEED I AM DEAD
DUMBrowski had 4 s***** years in Detroit before getting to the playoffs. Through 4 years, Ben actually won something.
Here's to 4 more years until he can turn this around, I guess.
"To much reliance on analytics."
Really? That was Ben's problem? I'd love to see the analytics that showed him to get Panda and why it was definitely not a pure marketing move...
