the 35 year old follows recent trends in mlb of the youth movements in the front offices...

he was the assistant to epstein in boston...

moorad making a smart decision here... selecting hoyer over kim ng...

hoyer will bring that to san diego

agreed...

having a 40 million dollar payroll is alot different than a 150 million dollar one...

but the lowerie & ellsbury types will not bankrupt moorad once hoyer can develop 'em...

hoyer will make a significant trade bringing back alot of young...top prospects from boston in return

 

[TonyMar]

Bingo.

Is Jeff Moorad part of ownership in SD?

moorad is the lead partner & owns over 30%...

he has 12 other investors...including troy aikman...

moorad has 5 years to complete the buyout from moores

Seems like MLB has it's own politics.

Certain teams just feel more comfortable dealing with one another than some of the other teams.
