This isn’t a good look leaking this information during the season.  

19-49 isn't a good look.

I'll take any leak of info, talking about possible changes.

I guess, but really...who cares? 

I'd consider this a win if it somehow pushes Brady to the margins.

Angelos: "Nobody puts Brady in a corner"

Bet it means he helps Brady. 

Then it would be more of the same.  Yuck.

Ned Colletti is 64 years old....and wears a toupee. I already wanna grab that thing and throw it, like Elaine did with George.

[Moose Milligan]

He's got an impressive background.  Not sure why he'd want to mess around here.

I may be way off. My gut tells me this means Brady comes out if this as the winner.

He is old and made mistakes in LA.  Has had solid career.

Didn't we interview Colletti, years ago, before DD was hired?

That’s my thought as well.  Dodgers have always made major investments in the international market.  Why would Colletti join a team that ignores international players?

Because he can’t get a job anywhere else?  Look around the sport. It is ran by young analytic types.

Maybe they're bringing him in to head that up.  Maybe this signifies a change.

But probably not.

Maybe the Orioles should hire a young analytic type.

Now it's coming back to me.

This was written, when DD was possibly heading to Toronto.

Someone like Ned can have young analytic types working for them.  I know you guys want the latest whiz bang from an Ivy League school who measures fart temperatures to predict batting averages but those types can still be employed by the Orioles and work for a guy like Ned.
