Good for him.

I hope the VP of Special Projects changes all the passwords.

Good for him, and nothing we’ll miss

He didn’t run the draft this year for the 1st time, and almost every pundit out there had us with the best or close to the best draft in all of MLB

This was my first thought as well! LOL

Rumor is the Astros are about to hire Albert to be their manager.

How many drafts did Flores actually run? I’d thought he’d been doing it for years. If so, it seems like he drafted pretty well talent wise and might have been undermined by development. Hard to say too how much of his drafting was based on strategy driven by Mo or a different front office staff.

Everytime a front office or coaching decision is made, I realize there’s so much I don’t know about what’s going on. I liked Shildt quite a bit and it turns out that was a very uninformed opinion.

Would be fun to see him take ABs against Lidge again, maybe for charity or something.
