Once in a while, however, everyone will agree. It happened this winter, when every front-office type, journalist, and peanut vendor shared the same reaction at the same time: ?The Tigers traded Doug Fister for what?? A few months later, the same choir sang a different chorus: ?The Tigers gave Miguel Cabrera how much money?? If you judge a team?s moves by the industry?s reaction, you probably think the Tigers had the worst offseason in baseball.
If, however, you judge a team?s moves by the man who made them, you?ll resist drawing conclusions for now. On one side, we have the informed judgments of an entire industry; on the other, the track record of a single person. The safe answer is to trust in the wisdom of crowds. The right answer might be to trust in the wisdom of Dave Dombrowski.
