Ed Wade Interview with JJO: The Hitters
A lot of standard company line b/s, but Ed Wade opines that Chris Johnson will get a serious look in Spring Training. There's no mention of Sutton or Bogusevic in this part of the interview--disappointing.

JJO talks about how frank Wade in in this interview.
My reaction is that he seemed more like a spin-meister.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

For the most part,
interviews with team personnel are like that. Even if Wade believes Bourn isn’t going to improve, he won’t say that publicly. There really is no such thing as a “candid” interview with a currently-employed GM.
But what else would we expect from Wade? “Yeah, this season will probably suck, Drayton won’t let me spend much, and we don’t have much talent coming to the majors. Things will probably get worse before they get better. Be prepared for some lean years, Houston. And don’t forget: season tickets are still available!”
