Alderson: "Ironically I might be his biggest supporter"

John Weisbarth finishes his interview with Sandy Alderson:

Two things have brought the Padres two where we are today: Strategy and Development.
There won't be a cash infusion from Moores like there was in the last few years because of the economy and "other things".
Alderson is very confident in the direction of the team
Decisions are made based mostly on baseball with some thought to the economy
The Padres will potentially lose 1 or 2 popular players
He knows that fans become attached to these players and he understands and respects that, but he has a responsibility to improve the team
Hoffman pitched well enough to come back and play for the Padres. "Ironically I might be his biggest supporter."

"Ironically I might be his biggest supporter."

Obviously, I’m no fan of Sandy’s, so I’m probably taking this comment in the wrong way…BUT…doesn’t this seem to suggest that KT is no longer a big supporter of Hoffman’s? It seems he’s kind of suggesting that this was more of a Towers decision than his.

Such a painful trip...to find out this is it.
