Clearly Albert Pujols is the real GM

Why? Can someone please elaborate what these advisors do? I guess you can never have too many good baseball people. But still I don’t know what to think of this.

I sure hope La Russa brings that magic bag with him that Albert left in his locker.

I think LaRussa was the worst GM in my lifetime. And I lived through the Reagins era! If LaRussa is the next GM I think I'm done with baseball for awhile.
