Unlike Angelos, who was an old school Baltimore ambulance chaser, Rubenstein made his money in DC, he doesn't have the Bittermore attitude towards Washington Angelos had, and many O's fans still have.
I will never be an O's fan, but I have huge respect for how Alexandria native Mike Elias has drafted and developed talent. That roster if full of people he drafted, think I counted five just among their rotation and OD starting nine. The gap between him and Rizzo is enormous. Rizzo would be long gone in any other org that values winning over giving defensive interviews.
I didn't know Elias was from Alexandria. Turns out he graduated from Thomas Jefferson. He was involved in building the Astros into a contender. He is as good as they get as a GM.
It would be fun to be a O's fan and a Nats fan but I don't know if I can root for Baltimore.
