Britt said he isn't nearly as into the scouting and development as the other candidates. He used to be with the O's, but I don't remember him much if i'm being honest.

Britt breaks it down with a very recent update:

Here are a few names to tentatively cross off your list: Mets special assistant JP Ricciardi and the Rangers? A.J. Preller and Thad Levine. As of Wednesday, the Orioles haven?t reached out. It?s very possible they go after some of the names you heard at the beginning of this search, such as Tampa Bay?s Gerry Hunsicker or the White Sox Rick Hahn, although both of those guys are content in their current organizations and roles and I can?t see the Orioles GM job ?which is already getting a less than desirable rap around baseball ? being enticing enough for them to want to leave. Another name to keep tabs on is Twins executive Mike Radcliff, especially considering his very-well respected background in scouting.

UPDATE: According to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles have reached out to Radcliff. So there?s another name to add to the list.

There are other highly regarded assistant GMs telling friends they would not even consider O's job if called. O's have major perception problem.

Well, if true I dont know how it gets any worse than that.

[OrioleMagic]

I don't like this. We need someone as far removed from the Orioles of the last 14 years as possible.

Roch just tweeted...

For anyone keeping score at home, #orioles will interview Proefrock, requested permission for Friedman, Hahn and Radcliff.

Hope you don't mind I made the DiPoto item a separate thread.

No no. Absolutely, I'll edit mine to delete it.

With the site down, I just wanted to get as much news out as possible for people to discuss. And I wanted the credit for finding it. :mwahaha:

Free agency begins in less than 4hrs, GM meetings start in 2 weeks , winter meetings a little over a month, and this team is starting a new list of GM candidates. There is noway that this will be a productive off season.

[ChaosLex]

No no. Absolutely, I'll edit mine to delete it.

You certainly beat me to the punch. :cussing:

[The Rick]

Britt mentioned in her most recent blog that Levine was not a candidate. Roch says differently... I guess we'll see.

Could you imagine what Friedman would do with a decent budget? Wow!

That said, he (and the Rays) will tell us to pound sand, IMO.

Does Angelos know that he is the scum of the earth an everyone is counting until he dies, or does he get off on all this?
