July 17, 20179 yr what Billy Beane just said.............. http://deadspin.com/billy-beane-admits-that-being-an-as-fan-is-hell-1796980365
July 17, 20179 yr What's the purpose of saying that in public? Screw Billy Beane. The As are worse than the Marlins. They don't even seem to try to contend. We may be total fuck ups down here but we make attempts to go for it.
July 17, 20179 yr Author What's the purpose of saying that in public? The purpose? Calling it what it is. A train wreck is a train wreck. Don't call it "making attempts to go for it". Call it a train wreck like Billy Beane did. FOURTEEEN YEARS without a playoff appearance. It's inexcusable.

FOURTEEEN YEARS without a playoff appearance. It's inexcusable. I'm not denying that it's a train wreck here, but nothing is accomplished by the GM "calling it what it is." The As are in the same crap hole we are. Every year they just sell sell and sell. They haven't even tried to get out of day one of a rebuild in probably a decade.

July 18, 20179 yr Mas should hire him as our new GM… Aren't you the guy that doesn't like fire sales and trading away main roster players? That's all Billy Beans really does. Good luck rooting for the team with him as GM.
July 18, 20179 yr In comparsion to the A's I think we are much better off. Granted they don't have a ballpark right now and we do. Defintely is rough being an A's fan but Billy Beane had a chance to go to the Redsox and didn't do it. If he wanted to leave the A's someone would hire him very quickly. I just don't think it is even a thought for him.
July 18, 20179 yr Aren't you the guy that doesn't like fire sales and trading away main roster players? That's all Billy Beans really does. Good luck rooting for the team with him as GM. I believe Mas would not as bad as his current boss,so he won't be forced to make so many trades,right !?
July 18, 20179 yr I believe most people here agreed that Beane was a very good GM and understand that he had no choice but to trade players to keep his team competed due to their finance situation,so I believe he didn't need to trade so many players like he did in the Oakland when he was serviced to a much better financial team.
July 18, 20179 yr What would he be doing to make the team better with trades off the table @taiwanmarlin?

Well with that logic then one could say Mike Hill is a very good GM because he had no choice to make the bad trades and deals he did under Loria. Would you say that?

Why he had no choice to make the BAD trades under Loria !? even we hate Loria much we still know that it's common sense that Loria hopes his GM would made the best trades of the world if he could,and that's why he paid him millions of dollars,right !?

When he's told to not send any money to the other team, it will obviously reduce what he gets back.
July 18, 20179 yr What would he be doing to make the team better with trades off the table @taiwanmarlin? Solid job answering this question @taiwanmarlin.
July 18, 20179 yr When he's told to not send any money to the other team, it will obviously reduce what he gets back. So why everyone here always blame on him !? in your logic it's totally not his fault,right !?
July 18, 20179 yr So why everyone here always blame on him !? in your logic it's totally not his fault,right !? He's a bad GM, but I was simply telling you the owner obviously has an effect on him too since you didn't seem to grasp that.
July 18, 20179 yr He's a bad GM, but I was simply telling you the owner obviously has an effect on him too since you didn't seem to grasp that. Hill has completed some of the worst FA signings in team history where money wasn't the limiting factor. Loria doesn't make Hill any worse than he already is. If that were true, he would have done well on acquisitions and trades where money wasn't a factor. And all Hill has done is shit the bed.

July 26, 20179 yr I'm not denying that it's a train wreck here, but nothing is accomplished by the GM "calling it what it is." The As are in the same crap hole we are. Every year they just sell sell and sell. They haven't even tried to get out of day one of a rebuild in probably a decade. They traded for Schamardja and Lester one year- it screwed them up giving up Addison Russell- theyve tried- just not well.
July 26, 20179 yr Aren't you the guy that doesn't like fire sales and trading away main roster players? That's all Billy Beans really does. Good luck rooting for the team with him as GM. He's actually past owner of the A's from what I Understand, he's not going anywhere
July 26, 20179 yr Mas should hire him as our new GM… before he even buys the team! It would make a real statement for his commitment to the Marlins.
