Wait, aren't these the same people that criticized Amaro for using the "I watch the games" approach??? Guy just can't win.

UPDATE: Let me be clear and open about this one because I’m taking heat, and deservedly so. I’m not claiming that I have more information than Ruben Amaro does about guys in his own system. That’s insane and I should no doubt be skewered for writing anything that might even suggest that. That was unforgiveably dumb and I’ll own that. Ruben Amaro has infinitely more information at his fingertips than I do. What I should have said was simply this: At least consider the idea that me being in touch with people from several organizations is in some way advantageous. Carry on.

Apparently Amaro's phone is broke and he never learned how e-mail works. He lives in a cave and faces a wall looking at shadows. GMs never ever talk to each other. Nor do they ever have any contact with anyone outside their own team. Why would they do that? All they really need to do is read Crashburn Alley.

Lol.

enough with the LOL already

What, you don't think it's knee-slappingly funny each of the >10 times per day, in thread after thread after thread, that smitty makes some variant of these jokes?

Ruben enjoys them because he is the GM of the future.

dippin dots are delicious but they're just freeze-dried ice cream. i can go get regular ice cream for much less money.

I like a good running joke. Some of them need to be excessively beat to death before they get really funny.

He so smart though.

I had to resist copying and pasting the whole thing. I'm not going to past any more but I recommend reading the three paragraphs after "Fact #4: The Phillies do a great job of scouting their own system". They are breathtaking.
