I think that's the kind of thing you can learn from your mistakes though. He also took a lot of unfair heat within the media. As an aside, and I wonder if this would help any in prying him away from the Padres, he's from Alexandria(as is Thad Levine).<BR/><BR/>I'd still be really surprised if Kasten went with anyone other than Rizzo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-86452783008695758082008-07-20T15:07:00.000-04:002008-07-20T15:07:00.000-04:00Unrelated, I'm now convinced Cox got tossed on pur...Unrelated, I'm now convinced Cox got tossed on purpose.
