Because I don't really care about Tomase. That doesn't mean I can't think he doesn't pine to be working the Red Sox beat. It just doesn't bother me that much that I think he does, thus I don't care, but it's still fairly evident to my eyes, as well as the eyes of others.
As for the previous point, in my estimation, it is essentially a glorified list of names, as you said, backed up by anecdotes. It didn't offer any real insight as to the leadership situation (based on outside sources, historical comparisons or sound independent reasoning), other than to say these certain guys are leaders, these other guys were leaders before they left, and these newer guys might become leaders in Tomase's estimation, based on some anecdotes he offers, which, as I noted in another post, are available from a variety of other sources. It's not a bad article to me, it's just not this literary home run as you and some others deemed it. It's more like a summary of the turnover and new faces on the team through the offseason, which is essentially a list of names.
