Any idea why he was PA's friend? 

Very good friend...see, very early in PA ownership, he walked by Stockstill in the hallway while muttering to himself something about trading Bobby Bonilla.  Stockstill said out loud, I wouldn't.  And he's been untouchable ever since.  Although to this day, no one in the Angelos family could pick him out of a crowd.

 

you know that is all made up right?

Rich Dubroff clarifies his understanding.

When the Orioles announced they were parting ways with Duquette and Showalter, they also announced that Vice President of Baseball Operations Brady Anderson and Scouting Director Gary Rajsich remain under contract.

I am suprised Stocksill is getting canned.   Thought he was untouchable.

I believe it was Dave Stockstill, not John, who had close connections to the Angelos family.    That kept him employed for a long time even though he wasn’t very good at his jobs, but he was let go several years ago.   John Stockstill joined the organization several years after Dave, and had a better reputation.    He was kept on when Dave was let go.   That’s all from memory, but I think Tony-OH will know.

I thought both Stockstill's had a connection with Peter.  But I could be wrong.

John Stockstill had worked for the Cubs and was hired by Andy MacPhail.

The story I remember about Dave — put it down as rumor, not fact — is that he used his Latin American connections to get someone Peter knew out of trouble (jail?) down there.   And Peter was forever grateful.    I don’t remember where I heard that, but it was probably on this site, a very long time ago.   

Edit - it was from an article Tony wrote back in 2010: “Although the exact story remains a close secret, multiple sources indicate that Stockstill and Bernhardt once got some people close to ownership out of some trouble in the Dominican and have job security due to that fact.”   I can’t find the article, but it’s quoted by PaulFolk on p. 10 of this thread:

So, Roch says that Graham will represent the team at next week's GM meetings and implies that a decision on the top executive (I have no idea what the title will be) won't me made by then.  As I said above, that (Nov 6) was my deadline for getting pissed.  At this point, I expect to be.

Maybe why Peter was opposed to signing guys from the Dominican. Perhaps he was the one in trouble. 

[atomic]

Or maybe it was the Angelos sons.  Who else would be close to ownership.

It was not Peter himself.

There aren't many people left.  Cut that payroll!!

[Rene88]

The fact they still haven’t hired a reputable GM and fired Brady by now is very very bad news IMO. 

 

Sell the team Angelos family: our only hope! Please!
