The media's darling, the Twins GM who decided David Ortiz was washed up and let him go, only to go to the Red Sox where he has about the same number number of homeruns the last 2 years as the entire rest of the Twins team combined. It makes me recall the time the Twins got rid of a pitcher they thought was washed up who became a Red Sox and later had a pretty good career- Luis Tiant. I also will never forgive his great signing of Joe Mays to a huge long term contract. Mays' fastball is about the same speed as mine was when I was 18 and I was a catcher! The guy was off all last year rehabbing and has been the worst pitcher in the major leagues this year.
I get so tired of the fawning "he does more with less" drivel the media gives him.
