The Cost of Employment

In a Tribune story today, White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn said, ostensibly with a straight face, his boss Jerry Reinsdorf “in just about every room he’s in he’s the smartest guy in it.”  Really?

What if Adam Dunn is in the room, too, and/or Adam LaRoche and/or Robin Ventura?  Heck, what if Reinsdorf is in the room all by himself?  Even then, I doubt it.  That said, I feel bad for Hahn.  He has himself a job that involves a whole lot of apple polishing, if not worse.
