Why the Rizzo Thing Rankles
The smart opinion on the news that Mike Rizzo seems to be out as Interim GM in favor of Arizona Diamondbacks director of player personnel Jerry Dipoto is that all's fair in love and UZR. Rizzo's done some things well, and other things less well, and the fact that he hasn't been a disaster doesn't necessarily mean he's the best man for the job. (See, for example...
