On March 19th in my mlb.com column I wrote that Bud Smith was a good pickup, but he might start the season in the minor leagues. It just so happened that Jonathan Mayo wrote something similar in his column the day before. I think we both read the same St. Louis Post Dispatch article about Tony La Russa’s plans.
I then got into a little flame war with a guy who said only an idiot would think that Andy Benes would end up in the rotation and Bud Smith would go to the minors.
This story reports that Bud Smith will be starting the year in the minors. STLtoday – sports
I forwarded the article to the guy, who wrote back:
i give you credit, you’re able to take info someone else gathered and put
it on your crappy website. nice job.
it just proves that larussa is as big a moron as you are.
I guess I can’t win.
