MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Just saw that Molitor has been offered the Twins job.

He better stay away from Bosio.

[funkster]

Seems like the Cubs job would be more attractive to him.

He's already one of the highest paid pitching coaches, if I remember correctly, he's loved here and seems like he loves it here. I think he stays.

Random post about the Dodgers new hires today.

 

Here is what I thought was weird:

 

A Muslim Canadian who grew up in the Philippines, it goes without saying that Zaidi does not have a typical background for a baseball executive. But his analytical background — he has an undergraduate degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. in behavioral economics from Cal-Berkeley — ultimately won him a chance with the A’s, and he never looked back. In spite of his background, Zaidi is known as a proponent of utilizing traditional scouting and focusing on tools in identifying talent.

 

A Muslim Canadian, raised in the mostly Christian nation of the Philippines? Have absolutely no problem with that, it just struck me as odd.

Theriot. Wow...

[jstraw]

The stupid...it burns.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Well, I suppose that would disqualify Theriot from ever being a GM.

[jstraw]

But he...oh, wait. THAT'S FUNNY!

[jstraw]

Honestly...Theriot's stupidity is actually turning into a bright spot in a dismal day.

[rok]

I guess he is officially now on the Right side of the Cubs-Cards rivalry.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

But he...oh, wait. THAT'S FUNNY!

 

Is it really, though?

[funkster]

Wow...what a moron.

[rok]

Oh, this is a great response to Theriot.
