I want a younger GM

[Pedro Cerrano]

Apologies to our "older" members here but I sure am sick and tired of having older GMs that don't seem to be adapting to the new age of baseball. Ever since Sid Thrift I feel like our GMs have either been young and stupid or old and slow (or some even more lethal combination).

I'm sick of the slooooooooooow MacPhail waiting and waiting and waiti....zzzzzzz

WAKE UP! Give me a Theo Epstein or an Andrew Friedman or an Alex Anthopolous.

Give me someone that is young and energetic with a plan and has the ambition and drive to get it done.

I hear ya.. but I can't imagine PA being even remotely interested in that.

Those types would probably be unwilling to work with Angelos

[TGO]

I don't think we've had young and stupid, but we've definitely had old and yet inexperienced (Flanagan).

How old were Beattie and Duquette?

[TiredofLosing20]

To be honest I would go for breathing and autonomous.. don't really care about their age.

Lee MacPhail IV could be promoted. He's currently the Professional Scouting Director, and I'm absolutely positive that nepotism had nothing to do with his hiring.

[Pedro Cerrano]

I should change my last name to Angelos and tell Peter that I'm his long lost nephew. I'm Irish but we look close enough to Greek, right?

Cha-ching! I heard Angelos gave his nephew a half a pack of Juicyfruit for his birthday last year. Big spender that man is!

Andy HAS to build this team "on the cheap" which means he has to take an approach where all the available assets have been removed or diminished to the point where his assets are almost all that is left and giving him control over the process.

Could you imagine JTrea's head if this were to happen.....

Just for fun, tell me who the "young" GMs were for the playoff teams from last year. Here's a list to help you along http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/List_of_current_Major_League_Baseball_general_managers

This. PA not interested in anyone either young or new-fangled.

You'd have to switch to Ouzo tho... which is pretty nasty.

[Guest rochester]

Pretty bizarre...younger? what does age have to do with it? I'd rather have competent but I digress
