AA finally acquired a baseball player a dirt bag player a gamer. Too many time he was after toolsy guys who weren't good at baseball but good athletes. With the Travis deal he acquired a who while not a five tool guy just a good ball player.
Will give AA credit for seeing the errors of his ways.
And yet people rip on him every game.
because a lot of people still wrongly conclude that since "the point of the game is to win" that wins and losses attributed to pitchers must be a meaningful representation of the pitcher's value/ability, totally missing the fact that a full half of the equation responsible for getting a a win (offence) is conducted when the pitcher isn't even on the field.
