              The only thing that saves Curry from being Jeter is that Curry is actually as good as or better than people think he is.

          • dmoas Sep 29,2017 1:21 pm || Up

            I’d disagree. They haven’t been good long enough for that level of entitlement to have set in. Nor did they truly “buy” the championship. A single major FA signing doesn’t get you there. Getting guys you brought up to stay doesn’t get you there. I can absolutely see it happening at some point, but they’re not there yet.

            • Glorious Mundy Sep 29,2017 1:23 pm || Up

              The Yankees didn’t really buy the championship either.

              • dmoas Sep 29,2017 1:28 pm || Up

                Disagree. A ton of their most recent championships involved a lot of major FA signings and pillaging. Many of their past ones were done by bullshit deals using the A’s a farm team.

                • Glorious Mundy Sep 29,2017 1:32 pm || Up

                  I’m thinking specifically of the 1996-2000 run, when they really became hated by this generation. That was basically homegrown plus Clemens.

                  After that the certainly tried to buy the title, and I guess you could say they finally did in 2009.

                • dmoas Sep 29,2017 7:56 pm || Up

                  They had a lot trades/signings of major free agents, Cone, Wells, Canseco, etc. Not all of them worked out, some were disasters, but many contributed to their run.

            Oddly, Detroit and SF both finished with 75 losses last year.

            Detroit picked ahead of them in the draft because they played one fewer game.

            I think that means SF has already clinched #1 this time.

        The Athletic didn’t cover the A’s or Giants on a daily basis, as both teams had ceased to be relevant by the time they opened for business. To be a serious competitor they will have to upgrade that going into next season.
