He sure does like to employ lady beaters.

I haven't checked, why does it matter?

I guess it really doesn't matter if you don't want to discuss the topic

Did I say he was? I was stating that the situation he walked into was eons better then the situation that he left in Toronto. Would you care to dispute that?

Why does anything matter?

Ching pointed out that he was doing great things in Atlanta. I simply said that he walked into a gravy situation there, unlike the one he left here. It appears he is learning how to build a sustainable winner (when handed all the pieces). Good for him.

Thread took a rough turn with the domestic abuse and xenophobic comments.

Atkins on his way to the 2nd best GM (assuming he makes the playoffs) so bad look on both sides based on the past few pages.

I mean, Ozuna is one of the only additions AA has kept for more than a season. Outside of the players who were already there. Good GMs don’t give those kind of people jobs.

Funny how the best organization with the best FO in baseball thought it was a good thing to hire AA. That must mean AA is really good.

I don’t think anyone is saying AA isn’t smart or a good GM. I would even argue that he’s grown significantly and is a better GM now. But he also didn’t have the farm in Atlanta since they gave up like 15 prospects for the cheating scandal before he got there. So he hasn’t been able to make these crazy creative trades… yet.
