Letters, Do We Get Letters

Well, not really, unless you count the other guys from the blogosphere, and occaisional e-mail missives from my wife, who claims to enjoy my rantlets. In the absence of real feedback today, the Bench Coach has on his blog an open letter to Dan Evans today. The greasy, ignoble end of Dan's tenure goes down with flagons of vinegar from McCourt, a man clearly devoid of any semblance of civility or humanity. I don't want to engage in lachrymose eulogy -- Dan, I think, will go elsewhere if Jon's Monday blog entry turns out correct. But Evans had his faults, and amidst the justifiable sorrowing over his shabby treatment, we should also recall them lest we become hagiographers: And that's it, really. Evans goes down with this big fat asterisk on his record:
Of all the words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are: 'It might have been.'"
Three years ago, Baseball America ran a survey of GMs-in-the-wings. They ran one again, listing alongside their new picks, those they had selected three years ago.

Evans name was at the top.
