That is exactly the type of fresh young blood and new prospective that the O's need in the warehouse!

Ugghh, that's depressing. The only bright spot is that this is coming from Heyman, so there's a good chance it's Grade-A Bull Flop.

John Hart is no more deserving of another GM job than you could argue Andy MacPhail was when he got the Orioles post. If the Orioles take this trajectory, which I don't doubt they will, we will be even worse off as an organization. The wins and losses might improve, TEMPORARILY, but we will be worse off. Bank on it.

Well I mean, he did start the foundation for what is now TEX. Hired Daniels, and has overseen and consulted through the process. But if I'm bringing someone in from TEX, it's Levine.

Whenever I hear him on MLB network, I am far from impressed. Sigh

This isn't the best thing for the O's, but it may be the best thing for this board. What I mean is this is a guy Trea wants so when the O's continue to struggle he may actually realize that PA is the real problem.

Suppose Hart were to bring Levine with him?

That would be nice but Levine probably wants to move up, not sideways.

How is going from Texas to Baltimore a lateral move?

Depends on the roles. If Hart stayed in the executive role like he's in now I think it makes perfect sense. I posted that a couple weeks ago somewhere. No way Daniels leaves, but I could see Hart becoming President of Operations and then Levine being brought in to be GM, and him bringing Kip F. with him to be his assistant. That way you give the inexperienced Levine a guy in the FO he's comfortable with and he could go to for advice and assistance. Hopefully Levine would get to run things his way if Angelos trusts in the veteran leadership of Hart and Buck so he wouldn't want to micromanage so much.

Levine is the asst. GM now, he meant if Hart is brought in to be GM (which I don't think he would do as it is a step down from where he is now), then Levine coming in would have to be his assistant.

He'd still be under the GM.

How is going from Texas to Baltimore and staying in the same position a lateral move?
