Interesting read. Props to you for the time and effort put into the interview and post.
Matt, stellar job! Triple crown for you. Your interviews with Bob and Jim were first rate and your questions excellent. Kudos to Bob and Jim for their candor, too.
"There seemed to be the feeling that with Andy that sometimes he pushed the players a little too hard and that’s why we had good starts and then seem to fade in the second half of the season."
Wow.
In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the donuts.
Great job Matt.

A BIG thanks to Alteri for allowing it, and a bigger thanks to Matt for taking the time to capture it all for us.

I loved this part...
JF: “I’ll admit, I’m not knowledgeable enough to tell you what’s down there. I don’t spend a lot of time analyzing what’s down in the minor leagues. I know from reading letsgokings.com a lot of people do. A lot of people do a lot of research.”
See, they DO read and get their info from us!
