From yesterday, but my vote for “best read of the day.”  Below is just a small taste…definitely worth reading!

When I look around the front offices of MLB now and see the young guns like Theo Epstein of Boston, Jon Daniels of Texas, or Andrew Friedman of Tampa Bay succeeding where the Mets perpetually fail, my first instinct emphasizes the age. It’s not because I need their agile frames to hit fastballs, but rather the youthful perspective that can ideally inject some life into a morose franchise.

However, it’s not the age that’s the problem. It’s the perspective.
