Cyrus we hardly knew ye!

I was thinking about Cyrus and his team the Twins. He is emblematic of a lot of baseball fans who have a team with a rich tradition, but somehow the team runs away from it. Guys like Tony Olivia and César Tovar and Kent Hrbek and that crazy Butch Wynegar. And the great Rod Carew. Why aren't those guys part of the team? Why aren't those guys coaches and front office people. Money. That's why. The team would rather hire cheap baseball lifer guys than bring up their own guys to run the team. Hrbek should be the manager. When a team drops their old players they depreciate the brand. But it's endemic in baseball. Go figure.
