Looking back at a week of Astros proxy wars
Tom Kirkendall and I have been posting (and emailing) a bit over the proxy wars being carried on by Chron sportswriters who seem loyal to various members and former members of the Houston Astros' organization.
Today, Kirkendall followed up with a lengthy recap of the matter, and threw in this conclusion:
[D]espite his squeaky-clean public persona, Mr. McLane is certainly capable of getting down and dirty with the best of them when he believes that his reputation is being sullied. It also appears reasonably certain that Mr. Hunsicker did not leave with many friends in the Stros front office and that his reputation for self-promotion may have cost him dearly in terms of snaring one of the better GM positions in Major League Baseball.
Like a certain mayor, Drayton McLane has that "awww shucks" demeanor down pat, but it doesn't fool everyone.
