Did anybody ever actually say that Elias is "infallible?"
 

Or is this just a bunch of beating a straw man into the ground?

Hyperbole.

Look it up.

 

We did have someone who suggested giving him the biggest contact ever for an executive.

Really ticks me off that Flaherty figured things out in Dodger blue. We sure could have used this type of pitching last year.

So it's "hyperbole" to constantly attribute a fake statement to unnamed opposition and then constantly attack the validity of the fake statement?

Maybe you should break out that dictionary for yourself b/c that's not hyperbole.

As far as Elias, he took a team that was historically awful, in a historically slanted competitive environment, and in a methodical way completely rebuilt the organization from the ground up and made it a cutting edge organization, which culminated in unprecedented success, all while dealing with a cash poor and unstable ownership group.

Yeah, he did a great job.  He did an amazing job.  And he should be compensated at the very highest level, both financially and in freedom to do his job as he sees fit.  And anyone who says differently is a bitter loser who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Flaherty is doing well with Dodgers after the trade deadline from the Tigers  . Since he was traded and soon a FA , he does not require QO draft pick .  Should the Orioles pursue him or has the bridge burned down between them ?
