    Alderson discusses hot stove

    The people you hire to run your team is just as important. If they were guys he hired that did nothing is a fail on his part period.

    Can't argue with that point in either Oakland, San Diego and here in Flushing.
    Not sure I would give him a fail so far here that so many fans are willing to do.

    Alderson has been an epic fail so far.



    And "ultimately," Alderson said, "It's pretty clear by now that I am an incompetent buffoon."

    Or Hawkins, which ever you want, and TJS is nothing these days, guys come back better, i'd take Giolito over Gavin mediocrity today too.

    You can talk by the way your great plan consists of throwing away the only quality LH starter we have developed since we threw the last one down the toilet.

    I'm not sure why you're still clinging on to the Alderson myth.

    PS The only talents SA has displayed so far is that he can let contracts expire on star players, fail in FA and to make (mostly) garbage trades, and of course he can keep a straight face whilst lying thru his teeth.
