I don't understand professional baseball, but if the owner of a team says "my pitchers are the BEST" - I can call "bullshit" on them without actually knowing if his pitchers are the best. It's in his best interest to say his pitchers are the best, even if they are not. He owns the team, and his livelihood is linked to the efficacy of his pitchers. This MN reserve employee has the same link between his livelihood and perceived value in the US dollar. tldr; the "professional" making the statement is heavily biased.
