Baseball Analysts AL West Roundtable
Bryan: Blez, what do you think the new owner will do for the A's -- from both a payroll and PR sense?Is it just me, or doesn't Beane already have a $60M budget?Blez: I think people are approaching Wolff right now as you would embrace a new stepfather. You don't really know what he's all about just yet. I also think that the financial constraints will remain with the team for now and not just because Wolff is as frugal as Schott, but because that's when Billy Beane is at his creative best.
Bryan: I don't know, Blez, that seems flawed to me. It almost sounds like an insult to Billy, like he couldn't operate under a $60-70 million payroll [emphasis mine -- Rob]. I like to think he'd be even better, but I could be wrong. I'll tell you what I do know -- moving the club to Sacramento was not the bad idea that some made it out to be.
There's plenty more where that came from, but allow me -- without spoiling anything -- to say that I agree with Rich on his projected division finish.
