John Angelos and Brady taking over? (note on Boras as well)

[Frobby]

Very interesting.    This organization is such a mess.    So maybe Brady doesn’t want the GM job, but who else will want it knowing Brady is always looking over his shoulder and popping in and out at will?

They just need to find another guy who has been out of baseball for 10 years.

Sure seems like we were interested in Zimmerman and Shark.  Davis does have a winning record on the bump though.

What happened to Zimmerman he has fallen off the map and been horirble

It's interesting to see Cafardo call Duquette one of the best GMs in the game after the Boston media basically ran him out of town in tears.

Maybe it means that Buck gets a Mike Scioscia role after this season with Brady executing the decisions???

Oh. A role like what Dipoto turn us down for...

There is a decent chance that elite pitcher would have been Jordan Zimmerman.  

I admit that I would have gone after Zimmerman.  Perhaps, ultimately, that money should have been saved and spent later.

I think I'm officially scared of Brady. It seemed like Dan had a real plan when he first got here and it feels like the plan went out the window right around when Brady got promoted.

He lost some velocity for one.  They all break eventually.

The sharp decline of Jordan Zimmermann

Man, I hate nepotism and “who you know” promotions.   It never works.    If this is where we are going, we are not going to be a winning organization.   Too bad that seeking out and grooming fresh, young assistant GM talent to then lead the organization has not been a priority.

I was interested in Zimmerman too, but that was a bullet dodged.  Well not really since they signed Davis.

Not a lot of things happening this off-season other than the Cashner signing.  I wouldn't be too excited about the John Angelos and Brady Anderson combo.  I am not sure why they don't just promote Brady now if that is the plan going forward.  Why let DD have to suffer through this.  I am sure it will be hard enough to get another quality GM without the Orioles making a mockery of the GM title once again. 

DD is doing all the little things. Like the article said, Brady doesn’t want work behind a desk all day.

I have no idea what the future holds, but I think Weams is right in his assessment of J Angelos, and I can tell you for a fact that he has respected Brady's insights for years now.  Nothing new there.

Weams, I thought you abandoned us to join the Red Sox bullpen, but then I realized that the jersey said WeEms.

Then the Orioles have to hire a Jim Duquette type like when Flanagan was sort of the GM.  This isn't going to end well.  Hope the rumors of the team getting sold come to fruition.
