I really like Beane, I love hearing his interviews and his thoughts on forming a team. He's a very likeable guy and a straight shooter.
My biggest qualms with Beane was the von contact, even before the injury, that was a bad contact for an aging player.
And second, the Diggs extension was also a big blunder. He jumped the gun on that to keep Diggs happy.
What he did this offseason, getting rid with the old, realizing that window was closing and setting us up for the years to come, all in one year, was prudent.
I actually like Beane more so than I like McDermott and would support the idea of keeping the GM, and bringing in a new coach. I'll reserve that opinion though until after this year.
