I believe that, I don't think DD is a great GM or anything, but I think he's competent and the Orioles (when PA was involved) were wholly incompetent.

Considering what happened after 14 this is remarkable. What were the odds of this before the season 100-1? Nobody saw this coming until recently.

Ain't fine.

Yep, not at all. His record is incomparably worse than Showalter's. We should get Buck an open-collared, blue-jeaned Brady dart board (or batting cage).

My question is was it just ownership stopping him or is this saying Buck had too much influence which I know can be traced back to the owner.

Well, I’m sure Doug Witt will be an objective source of information about his nephew.    It says he’s a pro scout so hopefully he won’t be involved in the draft.    

But the way organizations like the O's work, I wouldn't be surprised if he has some lateral influence.

Can anyone identify one thing that Brady Anderson has done, or some experience or abilities he has, outside the fields of nutrition and conditioning, that qualify him to assist in efforts to put together a baseball team?

I understand that that the Angeloses like and respect him. What else is there? He seems to have been associated with or to have promoted a series of bad decisions and unsuccessful efforts at player development. 

The possibility that Anderson might get more involved in GM-type functions makes me concerned that that if Duquette is not retained the Angeloses will make a bad decision from a depleted field of candidates to replace him, and that they might rival their father in his monumental stupidity in running the Orioles.

Brady fails his way up.  I'm glad DD is staying.

Will always appreciate Buck.

He has negotiated some deals.

My issue with Brady is the power he has, not that helps in many areas. 

Recipe for disaster.  

Hey can we please stop beating the dead horse about his 50-homer season?

I hope Brady is out with Buck. Personnaly I think DD needs to go also.

 

I think Roch and Nightengale are right. I never believed all three would be replaced. Dan is a Wartime Consigliere. 

[mdbdotcom]

Of course, Nightengale could be mistaken.

Creatine. Brady was Creatine.and amino acid complexes.

I don't think he ever stated that this was his opinion.

And most likely better than who we could have found to replace him, under the Angelos' ownership and with Brady liasoning around. He's also learned the ropes of how to deal with the O's organization and very motivated to redeem his reputation in, one hopes, a freer set of circumstances.

"Buck Showalter, the former #Rangers manager, also is expected to be dismissed by the Baltimore #Orioles at the season's conclusion. Orioles GM Dan Duquette, who got rave reviews for his deadline deals, is expected to receive extension."

Is expected by whom, he doesn't say.
