Been saying this for years, I strongly dislike him, and I'm a die hard.
Moose retired after the 20 win season because he didn't want to play for him, most of the vets don't like him, the kids have to tolerate him, he got ran out of Miami after turning that program around (what's that tell you?) he looks like a martian, and his bench calling is questionable at best.
Respectfully, what we're learning is that it's in fact - NOT depleted.
Rays in their fourth consecutive season of demonstrating that there's a whole lot of MLB players getting paid far more than is needed for their teams to be steadily competitive.
That's not a criticism of players getting as much as they can peaceably pry out of an MLB owner's pocket. Rather, it's a simple observation that replacing these guys is not so damn hard, especially if you've got spent at least five to six years building a super deep farm system.
