Not new but a good reminder of how to get things done as we move to a new era of GM.

Also traded for Chuck Finley, there was Woody Williams, and Darrell Kyle and Andy Benes all mentioned in the article. Pretty sure we drafted none of those guys.

Two things stand out
- The city/people/club was a lure
- We had a manager and pitching coach that knew what they were doing.
