Theo is very impressive. I read where he is heavily involved with the minor league system. He reads all notes from his scouts, and is up to date with every player in his teams minor league system. Basically, every person on every team associated with the Cubs is there for a reason. All he does is reads and crunches numbers.

Billy Beane says hello. Give Beane the kind of money Theo has had and he would build a dynasty.




dude has put the franchise in a hole with the terrible trades.

Trading Cespedes and Josh Donaldson for Franklin Barreto, Sean Nolin, Brett Lawrie, Kendall Graveman, and 11 starts from Jon Lester.

Trading for Samardazja. Then having to trade Samardja and getting a weak haul

Even his recent playoff teams have been pretty weak, but overall in the last 10 years the A's have been irrelevant. their farm system is pretty weak.
