Success or failure?? Doesn't matter, the results are still the responsibility of management. Either you know how to "handle" a situtation or you don't. Now, I don't really care, as a fan, how this disaster was handled--doesn't matter--the end result does. Did you get him or not?? The Pirates, as usual, will claim it wasn't their falut, and maybe it wasn't. If you had someone in their respective position on a major league baseball team who knew how to "handle" what obviously became a touchy situation between agent and baseball team the Pirates would have landed the kid. They didn't. Way to go Neal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice job. Ask Bobbo for a raise this year!!! Things are looking sooooooo much better since you joined "The Stooges."
Oh, by the way, the agent has handled 8 of 13 of the best players from Latin America over the last decade!! Their goes that money commited to the baseball academy in Dominican flushed down the toilet!!! Way to go guys, looking good!!!!!!
Wow, is there any way this organization could get worse??????????????
