yeah, i wouldn't have thought it very likely. have seen too many gms come in with guns blazing and the appearance of really doing something, only to see it fail miserably. after seeing the simmons-aybar trade, was expecting more of the same from this guy i knew nothing about. simmons is a beast, he's rebuilt our farm quickly, and signing ohtani looks to be the steal of the year.
boy, am i glad to have been completely wrong about eppler.
