Way after the fact, but I don't really feel like Friedman has done a particularly good job.
Unlimited payroll and a pretty meh offense beyond the big four.
Letting Seager go was really dumb.
Did you read what he wrote?
Goosebumps indeed.
Behind a paywall, but yowza:

Edit: I see Matt quoted it above. Strong words.
Wow. Agreed on Kiley. That ranking means a lot.
Pretty excited to see what he can do next season and beyond. The measurables are impressive.
Switch-hitting Chourio at shortstop sounds ok to me.
I would be floored if he was ever anywhere close to the player that Gomez was at his best.
Podsednik? Sure. But he was basically replacement level his whole career other than 2003.
