I agree Beardown. Makes complete sense and I still feel Hendry would have been the right person to keep in that position. Despite the Obama-fication of Ricketts, I think he is a smart leader and trying to surround himself with the right people. People can believe what they want, but nothing that I have seen to date has swayed my feelings that the management is headed in the right direction. The key is not to listen to all the experts and sports talk guys on this one. They are just out to sell newspapers and radio ads.
what exactly has tom ricketts said or done that leads you to believe he knows what he is doing or has any idea about running a baseball organization?..from day 1 i did not want this turd here and he has shown me that he is not a smart man with any business sense at all. since he took over this team he has had a public relations nightmare with dumb statements and poor decisions.
Well, a good start would be that he is asking around to others to find out what the process is like. I love the "that means he is weak and doesnt know what he is doing" crap. Do all of us a favor and read the book Good to Great. Great executives solicit feedback from others when making a decision. They may change their mind multiple times. It is the ego-ist who doesnt ask questions and goes forward with ideas that run into trouble when the train falls off the tracks. Why? They stop listening.
I love Bernstein and all, but his "sources" crap about who Ricketts is as a business man is just strange. I see a man that has produced business results. Go read his bio and look what his companies do. Guy is brighter than you think. Can he run a baseball organization? Sure. He just needs to surround himself with the right people and learn. You know no more than he does about running a baseball organization, yet we are all these expert critics.
so you answered my question with nothing..this dummy has owned the team for 2 plus years..another 18 months he had the financials and full access to the club and anything club related before the sale was finalized, he has done nothing since he took control..the guy is a weak bitch who lacks vision and common sense.
