Maple Leafs hire Kyle Dubas

[Tyler Biggs*]

Can't wait for the hot takes on this guy when the Leafs are still terrible this year.

Smart hire. Maybe not this year, but over time the value of this hire will be recognized. Numbers never lie.

If only the Maple Leafs had the equivalent of Zito, Mulder and Hudson in their existing lineup to greatly help give him a lot of undeserved credit.

Required reading on Beane.

By the way, no one ever seems to mention that Mulder and Zito were drafted BY Beane's staff. So I don't understand why he doesn't deserve credit for those players.

not to mention they had great ERA but not so good DIPS in their time with the A's. Not just bad luck that they didn't perform as well in the NL. Especially Zito.
