MacPhail has TOTAL control? Not what I hear!

[Guest Sailor Jerry]

Word on the street is MacPhail wanted Stockstill out. Then Peter the Great stepped in and said no. Un-friggin-believable.

Word on what street? I'm going to need an address to check it out on Google Maps.

And which Stockstill...I'm assuming Dave?

[Guest Sailor Jerry]

Yes, Dave.

Source? I have 'em, you don't.

And none of you live on my street.

But it almost cost them Jordan, since the minor league side gets along with the scouting side about as well as pink jerseys and diehard fans. The disfunction remains! And that's also the word on my street.

[napbow]

Doesn't Tony usually check out so called "insiders'" sources?

Not calling you a liar, but this is a pretty big statement and could send a lot of people over the edge.

Now that I've gottent his open again, feel free to comment. I'm not revealing my source because I've been sworn to secrecy. But just when you thought the front office was cleaning up, bam, you hear this.

And if you still don't think Stocky is rubbing people the wrong way, ask yourself why a top prospect like Rowell isn't playing winter ball while a bunch of non-prospects who won't get past Frederick are in Hawaii. Hawaii being the same league guys like Wieters and Snyder and Arrietta played in last year.

Unbelievable.

[McLovin]

I don't know if Tony or Scott followed up with him, but I know Sailor Jerry is not a troll and you can take him at his word.

Unbelievable.

And why didn't Arrieta and Snyder play in Bowie??

[ChaosLex]

If Angelos still has a say, at least we're sure to go after Teixeira now.

Sailor Jerry's sources are good.

Life on the sea has rendered him quite salty, though.

[geschinger]

If this is true, the organization is doomed.

[tywright]

I'd really like to know exactly what is causing the rift between Stockstill and AM/Jordan. Clearly this is not a good thing for our minor league system, but also for the entire organization.

[TGO]

If this is true, the organization is doomed.

Agreed....

Yeah, hearing this kind of stuff has me extremely peeved. I thought we at least had a good, solid organization in place now, whether or not we had a good plan. This is incredibly aggravating.

[nadecir]

I am sensing some bad things in the future in regards to Andy MacPhail's tenure with the Orioles. Too many other executives, managers, coaches, and announcers have been axed ungracefully by Angelos when you start to hear these kinds of things happening in the organization.

Maybe it is time for MacPhail to look for another job in baseball, and leave the Orioles on his own terms.
