Not only does he even look even worse after Burrell signed, he doesn't even have the balls to back up one of his best pitchers from last year. His press conference reeks of pussy... which is exactly what he is. Mike Arbuckle should have been the GM, and now he may never get his chance, and he's back in his hometown with the atrocious Royals. For shame Mr. Montgomery.

I've had more issues with B-Ref's numbers. Moving from a hitter-friendly park in the NL to a pretty neutral one in the AL will definitely bring down Burrell's raw stats. But that's why you should use park-neutral numbers all along... ESPN’s park factors are at least calculated correctly on a year-by-year basis, no? I’ve had more issues with B-Ref’s numbers.
