T.O. a sec there......that is absurd. Baird could find talen he just didn't know how to run a baseball team.
Prime Example:
Last year Baird held out for a corner outfielder and really wanted Mench from Texas and he never got it.
Moore comes in says the samething...we need a corner outfielder. Nest thing you know we have one. his name is David DeJesus. Then Moore went and got the fastest centerfielder in the game for a song.
Baird had what he wanted in front of him the whole time. He just didn't know it.
Moore did things Baird was too stubborn to do like get rid of Affeldt, bring in pitchers and not hang your hopes on guy named Grienke who can't get out of AA ball.
As far as Teahen and Gordon go. Right now Gordon better learn to play left field, SS or 2nd base and we move Grudz to SS. Butler will replace Sanders in RF and Brown will probably be traded for more pithcing but we need a catcher!
