Did anyone else think that Darren Urban hinted that the Cards wanted to get rid of Levi because they were tired of people asking about when/if Levi would ever get better/be replaced?
Seriously? DU is fast becoming my media nemesis!
Urban has quickly become an unbelievably usueless shill for the organization. I mean, even in his "Levi's legacy" article, he goes on and on about how fans and media alike didn't make a big deal about passing on AP for Levi at the time, when fans were mostly furious. I mean...he actually said "no one" made a stink about it, while reports are out there that our GM, and then top scout had to "restrain himself" when the pick was made.
his articles are useless fluff pieces. every once in a while there's a nugget in there, but whatever journalistic integrity the guy had walked right out the door when he was handed a paycheck by the team.
I mean, even in the comment section for the last four weeks, when people have been railing against Levi, he usually answers them with snark, saying that if a better option was there, why aren't they playing, blah, blah, blah...and then he gets traded and...eh...who cares.
