MEETING OF THE MINDS

David Pinto has a good interview with Red Sox consultant Bill James over at Baseball Musings. Needless to say, this is a sure shot. Don't sleep.

Baseball Musings: How do you like working on the inside of baseball? What was the most unexpected thing for you?

Bill James: It's been fun so far. The most unexpected thing is the Red Sox organization, the internal view of it. The guys I work with are mostly young, extremely sharp, very focused. But you walk around the offices. . .the office is very diverse, extremely competent. It is unusual to see an organization with so many quality people.

How am I supposed to hate the Sox when they become more competent and likable with each passing day? Oh, I'm sure I'll find a way...
