Here's the press conference where that Seattle Times article got their quotes from. atmlb.com/NdGOtI
Look, it's 4 in the mornin' and I've been up all night with this in my head like a dog with a bone. Watch that press conference. I'll wait.
I'm certainly no expert but here's my take. Jack looks like his intern just ran over his dog. He's chewing rocks and his mind's distracted. His media savvy takes over but you can tell that it's a veneer.
Tommy Mac looks like a caged tiger. His hands are on his hips. While sitting. He is literally wild eyed and is pleading with Jack to take over so he can run away. Then he says something about 7 min. in that should make any fan's stomach do a slow roll: "I don't want to go back in that draft room."
Most of this audience has participated in some form of fantasy baseball. To almost all of you, I would imagine, the draft is the best part of the experience. Tommy Mac lives and breathes his draft. He gets the resources to make his own draft Bat-Cave and he wants to run and hide from it. He described a chaotic scene in that room that he wants to be no more a part of.
Look at how they're speaking. Tommy is all, "Talking point 1, talking point 2." and Jack Z has to butt in to answer the question asked because it was about talking point 7.
You try to tell the Emporer that the Huns neatly avoided your ambush, laid waste to your undefeatable army, and now there is nothing between them and the Imperial Palace. You'd have the same mannerisms that Mac displayed. If they had gotten their guy then they wouldn't have been able to wait to tell you all about him. Instead we get an air of, "Maybe next round, if we can regroup."
It all adds up to one thing to me. Tommy Mac used his magic-sparkle-dust to identify Correa as "the one." When he was gone, everyone else available was two tiers down.
I like Zunino. It's obvious to me that the org ain't so hot on 'im.
