Simple - you fired Allard Baird.

Baird was a very very good baseball guy.

Glass simply wouldn't let him operate. Glass is the guy that vetoed the Sweeney for Ervin Santana trade. Glass is the guy that wouldn't even let him pay slot for draft picks. Baird was even more hamstrung by having the misfortune of being forced to deal Damon, Dye and Beltran. No GM as going to come out of that purge without blood on him.

Glass has come up large over the last few years and Moore has proven an incompetent boob. At the same time, it would have been very interesting to see what Baird could've done with the same advantages Glass has provided Moore. Epstein snapped Baird up fairly quickly, if he's good enough to be Epsteins #2, that says a lot about him, IMO.
