I'll trade you Allard Baird for Billy Beane in a millisecond if you hate the guy so much. LOL.
Allard Baird = worst GM of all time....and that's actually a fact..lol
.......only way it could be worse is if we let Isaih Thomas be the GM..LOL.

Beane is a genius in a mad scientist sort of way, no doubt.

Beane is awsome but not infallible.
May I present this year's exhibit - Loaiza...it actually helps the A's if he doesn't pitch at this point.
I did see a funny comment where someone suggested Beane should trade him to the Royals for Greinke as Baird would be the one GM who would actually seriously consider the offer.

I know this is a joke....but Baird wouldn't trade Grienke for ANY player in baseball......Baird is absolutely in love with him....it's kinda wierd.

Love J.P's work but I think he has to stray from the moneyball tactic a little more because we can only have so many older finnesse pitchers in the minor league system

I think Greinke will be bust...
