Possibilities For Seattle GM Position

And after the season, hopefully Minaya will be looking for a job as well.

Because he's not a good GM?

I thought Dan Evans could be interesting. I personally think he started the whole rebuilding process in LA and hired a few of the guys mentioned in this thread (most notably Logan White). Someone who is a Dodgers fan will most certainly correct me but I was surprised when he was let go.

Trade you Brian Sabean for some used sunflower seed shells!

:)

Im suprised Brian Sabean isnt on that list. If he doesnt lead the team in a direction after the All Star Break he'll more then likely be gone.

I like Forst and Dipoto both have been around solid rebuilding and youth movements for awhile and that is what this team needs. They have the skill to know young talent and have seen what it takes to make good trades.

These guys are 1A and 1B.

But you all may forget or not know, that Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong will put hand cuffs on whomever they get, no deals longer than 3-4 years and it is better to patch with old guys than do a full youth movement.

Whomever gets this job MUST state at the begining and have it in writting that they have full control to do what they deem fit to make this team better again, or the M's are in for more of the same no matter who they bring in as GM..

No Finch has some sort of position inside the D-Backs system. Head of Player Development or something like that. I've heard him mentioned during a few interviews with Byrnes and he always talks VERY highly of Hinch and his ability.

Krivsky is interesting and I'm not going to say DePodesta wouldn't be good but I still think Evans should get another shot.

Looks like Forst has come a long way from being the video room guy described in Moneyball, huh?

Anyways, I think Paul DePodesta deserves another shot at being a GM. He didn't get his fair due with the Dodger's.

“No Dark, he's currently the director of personal for the D-Backs.”

…Interesting. I do remember hearing his name mentioned from time to time for stuff ~ just couldn’t remember for what (hence think he was prob still playing). Quick move up the later though; I see he was playing as late as 2005 and now all of a sudden he could be in the hunt for a GM gob. He must be quit the guy…

"And after the season, hopefully Minaya will be looking for a job as well."

So you are rooting for your own team to miss the playoffs? You're more pathetic then I thought.

"Except for the fact that he signed a 2-year contract extension last year."

With Magowan leaving Sabean's job is no longer safe, not to mention our new owner isnt too fond of him.
