Smart drafting is a wonderful thing. A smart free-agent signing is a wonderful thing. Smart trades are a wonderful thing, and that's a function of management.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end.
Obviously, drafts sometimes are good ones, or bad ones; I think you can get a good, quality player late in the lottery.
To be a good draftsman was to me a blessing.
I feel like my agents are really amazing and smart.
In design as in life, smart can also mean wise, kind, inspiring - and cost-effective. And that has a charm all its own.
An agent won't help you get drafted higher, won't make you win more games, and won't make you faster or stronger.
Most pitchers are too smart to manage.
My job, when it comes to free agency, trades, is not to pick players, but support the personnel department and the coaching staff. We have to have the financial resources to make things happen and that's my job.
I've never been good at making smart career decisions or doing the right strategic thing, and yet somehow it's all led me to exactly the kind of career that I would have dreamed of having - if only I'd been smart enough to dream something like that.
The bottom line is that I like my first drafts to be blind, unconscious, messy efforts; that's what gets me the best material.
