gord ash, the former blue jays gm is apparently writing a weekly article for tsn.ca…in this week’s article he writes about how the first 20-30 games are vital in judging a team etc…but the interesting thing was that he described his replacement, jp riccardi and the worth of buck martinez…this seems to me somewhat like a conflict of interest since he now has the power to sway public support against riccardi and for martinez (tho i think martinez is a personable & worthy manager)
