It is time to give Angelos some credit

[accinfo]

The series of DFA's show me that Peter Angelos is allowing baseball people to make roster decisions based on baseball reasons and not on $$$$. I have blamed Angelos for his actions in the past, for good reasons, but he seems to trust his baseball people and allowed them to make these roster decisions based on results not money owed.

Snider was under control through next year for what is a cheap price this day and age. Bud Norris wasn't the cheapest player at this point to drop. etc.

It's pretty clear that at least since AM he has trusted the baseball people to do what is right.

No one is saying that Dan asked for or was given any change in his budget. Ryan Webb may well all be on Dan. He likes saving money.

There was no spot for the guy in the pen. If trading him freed up money for another spot, that just makes sense.

It's the selling of the draft pick that is the issue. Instead of eating the bad money, they traded a pick.

Sounds like Dan wanted to. I doubt the the ANgelos family was in anyway involved in that.

Do we really know if Peter is involved in the day to day operations of the team? Or are we all speculating?

I for one have no idea.

I have no idea. I can't imagine he would be. I said Angelos family. And I can't imagine they would be.

Yeah, I (albeit not very well) was trying to agree with you with my post.

Sorry for the confusion.

I expect nothing less from ownership.

You think that is how Loria or Rogers or Henry or Wilpon, or Dolan or Monfort or Lew Wolff operate?

Can we get Dombrowski and show Duquette the door?

No. Dombrowski is getting one of the President jobs. And he is not interested in working a small budget club like ours.
