We remember a baseball insider who gushed about that right when the M's glommed onto Gillick. "You're not going to believe this guy's feel for a roster that wins 90 games. It's almost supernatural."
Right now you've got an outfield of 3, 4 different "minus" gloves, no Gold Glover out there to glue it together. You've got firepower but no OBP. The roster just feels kludgy, doesn't it?
Of course, the M's rip off a winning streak and we'll all be eating our words...
