What does no announcement of a Buck extension mean?

So do you think any of that is relevant to what Andy MacPhail was paid as President of Baseball Operations for the Orioles?   

I would think that Andy was paid more per year than Dan.  How much more I don't know.  And the fact it was over 6 years ago makes a difference also.

I didn't post the comparison because of Andy.  I did it because I think Buck will want a raise.    The president's  numbers were just interesting so I posted those also.

If I were Buck I'd want to be the GM and let Russel manage.

Would be okay.

You know what, I'm gonna stake my claim right here.

Brady Anderson is your GM of the 2019 Baltimore Orioles.

That's how I read the leaves.

I really, really, really hope you are wrong.  He would be a disaster, imho.

That I would not like. I think Brady would be too much in the Angelos pocket.

Unless Buck stays on as uber manager like ScioscIa, and Brady is his GM water boy.

After being denied the opportunity to pursue a much bigger job in Toronto, I can't imagine that Dan has any desire to stay with the Orioles. 

and sadly he didn't leave.

He couldn't leave because he was under contract. What's your point, other than you don't like the job he's done.

He fired Wren, but basically, you’re right.    He doesn’t often fire managers, either.    I actually like that about him, but I think there are times to make exceptions.    I’d favor making a decision on Duquette now, rather than next year, simply because there’s a conflict between Dan’s incentive to succeed in the short run and the team’s interest in succeeding in the longer run, that’s exacerbated by the fact that we have several very key players on expiring contracts.   

Could not agree more. I believe that this year and next there are some critical decisions that will determine the success of the O's for now and the next 4-5 years. I don't believe Duquette is the man for that job and would fire him, now. I actually would have fired him after 2015, but that's neither here nor there.

That is my point. I wish PA would have allowed him to. The job he did in 2015 was down right incompetent.
