Meh.
I wonder what his official role will be...likely something like Allard Baird and Frank Wren, where he advises behind the scenes but we never hear much about him, right?
Unless he can hit taters or strike guys out I don't see how much good this will do.
But he is buddy-buddy with Dombrowski so I can see why it is happening.
Like Jack Flap said "Meh".

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

and Jimmy Leland makes three - come on. Maybe it is just taking a break from new age bullshit. Who knows.

It's only difficult for other people.
It works the same way for stupid."
Probably there as a sounding board for Dombrowski and Cora.

Doesn't hurt to have people who know something about the game helping out.
Apparently if desperate dave wants to have a friend in Boston, he has to do it the old fashioned way. He has to pay tony to be his friend!!!!
What are these two old geezers going to do all day? Talk about baseball seasons of old and all the medications they are on?
ESPN recently reported overhearing a future conversation between desperate Dave and la Russa, (because everything ESPN reports is 100 percent truth.)
Tony, “hey Dave, I’ll trade you a Zoloft for one of those little blue pills.”
Desperate dave, “Tony, I do not even know what these little blue pills are for.”
Tony, “All I know is they make you feel lightheaded, like all the blood has rushed out of your head.”
Desperate dave, “well I just took two about an hour ago and I feel fine. Hey Tony, have you noticed how sexy Harold Reynolds looks now a days?”
End of ESPN story!
That laughing sound you hear now is Brian cashman. He can not believe how lucky he is that we hired desperate dave.
