Just a year or so ago, people on here were telling me the Dbacks were small market and didn't have the money to spend on players.

Just a year or so ago, people on here were telling me the Dbacks were small market and didn't have the money to spend on players.

Perhaps they weren't saying that the D-backs didn't have the money, just didn't spend the money.

I guess it's now . . . didn't spend the money wisely.


We read recently that the Padres want Kevin Towers back to be a super-overseer like Tony LaRussa. If that is the case, I wonder why he is still here.

LaRussa could make the GM decisions for the rest of the season with an Assistant GM doing the legwork, without pretending that Towers is still in charge. Especially if, with apologies to Tony Bennett, he left his heart in San Diego.
