Three GM questions

You may be right, but other than the money, I have no idea why a guy who has spent his life in baseball operations would want to spend significant chunks of time overseeing the other operations of the organization.    It seems a lot less fun.

In this organization he has to answer to PA above and Buck below. That won't always be the case in other organizations.

He'll always answer to the owner.   I agree Buck has more influence than some managers.   But his relationship with Dan has always seemed mutually respectful.

Many owners give the GM freer reign than PA does. He took this job that nobody else wanted to rehabilitate himself. He's done that and now he probably wants to move on to something that gives him more authority.

I wonder if John will be a different owner for Dan to work under and whether that would be more enticing than the current arrangement.

Peter Angelos holds the CEO title. John Angelos' title is Executive Vice President.   I don't see Duquette being President if that implies he's senior to John.

 

John could move to Vice Chairman and Dan could be President.  Its really most about the money.   If Dan gets the raise is wants I think he stays.   If not he will look for a better offer.

It's not the title he wants it's the power. He won't get that here.

I don't understand why he wouldn't just want power over all baseball operations. He really wants to sit around and discuss marketing campaigns, gate receipts and TV rights?

Who knows, but he currently doesn't have power over all baseball operations

I would love to see them give him that power/title, and a nice big raise and let him take the Orioles to the promised land as an organization. He has broad organizational skills as well, having organized the league in Israel, etc. I couldn't think of a better Prez of Baseball Ops than DD.

1. No

2. Yes

3. No

This organization is in a heap of trouble come 2018 and beyond. Perhaps as early as this year because the starting rotation has zippy good depth. Any injury to a SP and the season is basically done.

[ArtVanDelay]

No

Yes

No

I agree but it wan't happen as long as PA is around,
