How could so many smart investors have been so foolish? What were they thinking? Martin Fridson, the chief junk-bond strategist for Merrill Lynch, says that already-hot Internet and telecom markets turned incandescent when money came flooding into the United States after the Asian financial meltdown started in 1997. “Ideas that you would have called ridiculous at other times got funded,’’ he says.

The first thing that most people think about with Baker is his reputation for running pitchers into the ground, going back to his days with the Cubs and the arm injuries that derailed Kerry Wood’s career and destroyed Mark Prior’s. In Cincinnati, Baker’s pitching stable included Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Mat Latos, each of whom compiled back-to-back seasons of more than 200 innings for playoff teams in 2012 and 2013, and each of whom needed elbow surgery at some point in the last two years....
