I think the Angelos sons have no idea what they are doing at the moment if I am being perfectly honest

I have been very optimistic. Have been. It can still be salvaged. Brady is a joke.

I had high hopes for the new Management. Now it looks like the exact same old thing. Unbelievable.

Next up should be Brady. He is total garbage.

I had my hopes up after Dan’s press conference when Manny was traded.  Now I don’t know what to think.

I'll never understand the vitriol directed at Brady.

It's up to management to appropriately define roles/responsibilities and boundaries. That's not Brady's fault. That's not Buck's fault.

He isn’t qualified to have the power he does. 

That said you are correct, they don’t have to give it to him.

1) Contract probably runs through October

2) Someone's got to be in charge until a replacement is found.   Someone has to negotiate with VVM.

I hope it's not Brady.

It is displaced vitriol. Sort of like the bitterness directed at the owner's cousin who gets hired into a nebulous position and never has to go to stupid HR meetings or file annual progress reports. The issue is obviously the person who put the cousin in that position, but...

Per Roch

 

The Orioles could hire a president of baseball operations, as well as someone to inherit Duquette’s title. They also could choose to increase the role of vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson, perhaps changing his title.

Get someone with front office experience preferably from an organization like the Rays, Astros or Indians.

Three organizations similar to the Orioles that don’t have the unlimited resources of the Dodgers and Yankees.  

Yep. Agreed w/that. I would add ATL to the list. Done a great job (maybe too aggressively in certain areas cough cough) getting highly relevant again with a $130 MM payroll...

I’m really glad I went to all the home playoff games recently. Back to the dysfunction we go.

They let him go 2 days before VVM tryout.  Better hope VVM is all about the money.

I don't think VVM has formed an emotional attachment to Dan.

I think he can see an organization that is unorganized.
