Should the Orioles consider hiring a President of Baseball Operations?

Go after a top GM such as Dayton Moore or Neal Huntington or John Mozeliak and offer them a promotion to be the new President of Operations. Let them restructure the front office and bring in their own men to run the organization. For other teams, it seems to have worked out well more often than not. The Cubs hit a homerun with Epstein. The Red Sox have improved markedly since hiring Dombrowski. The Dodgers and Nationals are two other teams who've done well under this structure. And I think hiring a President of Baseball Operations will help make the Orioles a much better and more well-run franchise in the long run. What do you guys think?

    • I would have kept Irvin over Povich.
    • I would have kept air in over Povich.
    • I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Camden Yards Friday night and they strung together multiple hits. Best thing I've seen at Camden all summer. In their nonstop 3 1/2 hour performance they practically burned the place down with Bruce pushing 74 years old. Here's hoping the Orioles can rally themselves and produce some magic of their own as the season winds down. Spot on post by the way.

    • I think the downside scenario is more likely to resemble the recent Jays.   However, there is also a decent possibility that Red Sox and/or Yankees become dominant over the next few years.  I think the Red Sox young core (Durran, Roman Anthony, Casas, Rafaela, Abreu, Marcelo Mayer, Kyle Teel, Kristian Campbell, Miguel Bleis + Devers) is as good or better than ours and they are going to have a lot of payroll capacity.  The Yankees could return Cole and Soto along with Judge and good young pitching - even if the rest of the lineup is middling they will be tough.  As a result, I’m trying to enjoy the season and not to get too down despite it seeming like a slog.  As frustrating as it has been, it’s still better than being out of contention in September. I’m hoping that all of the Orioles Magic is just being saved up for the playoffs unlike last year.
