My preference would be a young up and coming guy who is working under a winning organization. The bigger question here though is, who is going to do the interviewing? Who makes the final decision? 

My other preference would be for them top hire an under 50 guy who has scouted, run a business associated with baseball, evaluated baseball prospects for over 20 years, managed baseball teams, interviewed for his thoughts on the Orioles from local radio/TV, has managed 1000s of games on OOTP baseball while developing world series winning organizations, 20+ years of leading people and soldiers, and who has completed studies for improving operations for the Department of Defense! ;)

Dang, if only there was such a person that exists, what a remarkable person that would be.:new_beer:

So how do we get Tony an interview??

Haha, well thankfully they are not in a rush apparently because I'm in the Dominican for a week for my daughter's marriage, but I may be able to make time next week. :D

So THAT'S the holdup with them starting the interview process.  

(And congrats on the wedding!)

I am pretty sure we will see something like, no word for the next 2-3 weeks.  At that point theres some vague messaging from the warehouse about internal discussions and staff taking on more to fill the gap.  Brady and one of the sons head to the winter meetings, we get super antsy because theres still no manager in January.  February comes and maybe we interview Dusty Baker if its clear hes not returning to baseball next season and we get antsier.  As Valentine's Day approaches theres an announcement that we've narrowed it down to 2-3 internal choices for manager and we end up with Sam Perlozzo 2.0, Bordick, or something as awful.  No clarity on who the actual current or future GM is heading into Spring Training.

    • I chalk it up to the bottom of the lineup.  When Mullins was hitting, we had Westburg and Cowser batting 7th and 8th and they were both on fire.  Every game was fun because every inning I felt we could score.   Now when I see Mateo batting 6th followed by a slumping Cowser, comatose Mullins, and McCann, I’m like, time to check the minor league games.
    • I don't see Stowers ever playing a significant role. I wouldn't mind Cowser and Norby with Norby also playing some second and DH.
    • True, though in my mind I was kind of thinking Cowser might have to play CF. Also, come next OD, Beavers will be in the mix for an OF spot.  With all of our LHH, Norby should be able to carve out a mini Zobrist lyte role with us in COF/2B.  This system really isn’t that deep past Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, Beavers, and EBJ. 
    • Elias for not bringing back Frazier?
    • I agree with what a lot of @forphase1 wrote. I said it in the other thread, but I am disappointed with the overall approach at the plate with this offense and saying they've got the highest runs per game in the AL is like saying Colton Cowser is at an .831 OPS.  It doesn't tell the entire story. If we're at the halfway mark and we're still at the highest runs per game in the AL, well then I think that's a little different.  But I also think we've been conditioned over the years to complain.  And let's face it, it's been a long time since any of us have seen continued winning baseball.  It's hard to look at hindsight and be able to accurately remember what you were thinking in 2012 when the Orioles started winning without those memories being colored by good feelings.  It's hard to remember exactly what you were thinking in, like, July of 2012.  I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of us were waiting for the other shoe to drop. But getting back to the whole "highest runs per game in the AL" bit, if you hear that you'd expect that team to be bludgeoning other teams to death and that's just not what's happened lately.  Lately, it feels like they've pulled wins out of their asses and just gotten lucky.  Adley walkoffs are exciting, but that's not a recipe for success and if you watched that game in its entirety, it didn't feel like a 107 win team and it hasn't felt that way during this drought of runs.  Like I said, Colton Cowser has an .831 OPS but it sure doesn't feel like it.  It's nice that the Orioles have the highest runs per game in the AL but it sure doesn't feel like it lately.
    • Well now we know who to blame when the O's don't make the playoffs. 
    • Not really.  I just remember seeing numbers last year that after April, he wasn’t good.  I’m not sure what the break downs are for splits by month.
