"We did fall short of what the plan was, and it was disappointing,” Anderson said. “We kind of got nothing out of the deal, you know? Just some real moments, but the whole goal was to win a World Series. So, we kind of fell short of that. It goes down to each individual, how bad you wanted it."

"We can look over the course of those years, and we can tell who wanted it and who didn’t, from top to bottom. If you ask people throughout those years who laid it on the line and who fought for what we were trying to accomplish ... that’s enough to say about that.”

I find his comments interesting given that one could make the case his off the field exploits, his on-field fights, confrontations with umpires and suspensions were part of the problem and an embarrassment to the organization.  

Tim is always a thoughtful guy. I appreciate the quotes you shared, I’ll read the full article later on. But I’m really rooting for him. I’m skeptical of the profile, babip merchant that can’t play d, but I’m always rooting for him.
