He has been determned to recver and come back to baseball. 38 is not that old, people. He had a bad year that wasn’t even that bad if his anklevwas healed rght. He seems to be doing a lot better with hs recovery this time.
He had a LOT of great years.
He could be very dangerous!!

GO MAGGS!!!

You’re having the same reactions that the book/movie describes so well.

Sign a lot of old guys cheaply who used to be good. Maybe you can wring some production out of one. Yeah, you’ll end up with a lot of failures but so what? Cut ‘em and move on. If it works, you get some production for cheap. Plus you get veteran leadership (obviously doesn’t apply to Manny) for the kids on your roster.

Keep turning that roster over, Billy, and work your magic.

When will they learn? What is the maximum they could possibly get out of a guy like Ordonez, and what maximum effect could it possibly have on the standings? Might as well roll your money up and smoke it, Billy.

Not even the Circus clown aspect to amuse us with.

Why not expect lightning to strike twice? It’s not like that penny pinching org has any other option.

Did the real Billy Beane get abducted by aliens?

(for like a month or so, until Manny can continue being Manny)
