Rosenthal: Duquette to interview Friday

[Palmoripken]

Reeks of a retread move that I was fearing though Dan Duquette's overall resume isn't terrible. I still think the best thing to do is to get someone like DiPoto or LaCava but that doesn't seem likely.

[BaltimoreTerp]

I think we're all getting punk'd now.

[Icterus galbula]

Wow, that one came out of nowhere. What does Dan Duquette do these days? He hasn't been in major league baseball since 2002.

Was just going to ask this. The game has changed alot in 10 years. Has he kept up at all?

[Miller192]

He runs a sports academy for kids and teens. So, naturally, he's well qualified here.

Now if he starts getting turned down by people no longer in the game this is going to get real interesting but I figured this would be their next move. What unemployed, non-retiree GM is going to say 'no'?

[TonySoprano]

Dipoto. LaCava. Watson. Stockstill. Proefrock. Duquette.

Man, is Pete ever going to be upset when he gets his credit card bill and sees all the wining and dining his sons did.

Well, most Orioles fans think a guy whose primary profession is running sports academies for kids and teens will be the savior of the franchise, so maybe that's not a bad thing.

[PrivateO]

Next they're going to have open tryouts for GM.

All are invited.

I assume you have to bring your glove, like for the ball kids tryouts?

[Birds of B'more]

Well Duquette signed Pedro, Manny and Damon during his Boston tenure. If nothing else, he should get the JTrea Stamp of Approval.

[Rene88]

LOL-True Enough:)

I could live with Duquette.

(Oops-meant to quote Tony's comment on the wining and dining:)

Good one.

Yeah but with the Orioles those types of FA moves get downgraded quite a bit.

[BrunoCherrytown]

Don't discount this.

Angelos may have Duquette sign Pedro, Manny, and Damon again. Because two times is a charm in Charm City!

[Palmoripken]

Duquette traded for Pedro just to clarify that.
