Worth watching.

Duquette really high on Kim--said he was a better hitter than the Pirates' Kang who has a sharp eye for the strike zone, will walk a lot, and cover a lot of ground in left field. Rewarded O'Day for being unusually consistent over four years.

One of the most personable and relaxed interviews I've seen Duquette do. Maybe he was relieved that Stan the Fan didn't ask him a single question about the starting pitching :scratchchinhmm:.

Did that guy just call the Asian ballplayers "the Orientors"?

Stan???

Second video, 0:40 seconds, He finishes talking about Chen and Wada then says: "But all of a sudden you have the ______ back in play". That word sounded like "Orient-ors" and would make sense in context as he's talking about getting the Asian markets back in play.

Use of the word Orient is not considered PC.

"There are several reasons scholars now avoid using phrases like "the East," "the Far East," and "the Orient," including the exoticism they convey, their association with modern empires, the skewed view of world geography they present, and their tendency to homogenize large, diverse parts of the world as if they shared a single cultural identity."

He said "the Orient is back in play." Orient referring to the region.

I think we'll be ok. I have confidence in Dan. He built the expos who should of won, got canned the year before the Red Sox won the World Series. Now will do the same with us, but hopefully be around for the ring
