He talks about teams that build a playoff team for a year only to see themselves out of the playoffs for the next few years after (he basically describes the Cubs over the last 14 years).
He talks about the MYTH of the AAAA ballplayer (Yes Al, myth), by the way he was talking about Brian Lahair when he said that.
He talks about CARMINE (the computer program the BoSox used to have efficient access to player info) and how Jed Hoyer missed the program in San Diego and hired a couple of programmers to help build their own system.
He has FULL control over payroll, (those are his words) FULL CONTROL!!!!
That was great to watch. I get the sense of his humble, laid back attitude on the surface, but you know he’s intense and going full bore behind the scenes. Love it.
wont be an overnight sensation.getting there once sucks and getting there on a regular basis is much better.i like that attitude. if theo can develop the kind of talent boston did then hmm maybe just maybe.

Being a Computer Engineering Major
I would die to be a part of the Cubs equivalent of Carmine. That would be soooooo awesome.
Lweb23 - October 25, 2011
What are you waiting for!!!!
I can guarantee you the Cubs don’t have anything near the equivalent of Carmine, they’re probably still using filing cabinets.
troutfishin - October 25, 2011
Well..
I am an Computer Engineering MAJOR. Not a Computer Engineer. I gotta finish school before I can do that. lol.
Lweb23 - October 25, 2011
I like that that Theo sees some potential in Lahair
I am hoping he is late bloomer like Freeze or Nelson Cruz.
Mitchener - October 25, 2011
Like that guy said lahair is killing it in Winter Ball
6 homers in 10 games, .308 BA, .423 OBP, and a 1.246 OPS.
Mitchener - October 25, 2011
Hey, if I'm wrong, I'll say so.
Right now, I still don’t see it.
