Fake Name
O’Dowd oversaw the Indians Minor League System as a 19 year old!!

Check your math…
Fake Name
“O’Dowd, 41, oversaw the Indians’ farm department from 1988 to 1992…”
The year is 2010. 1988 was 22 years ago. 41-22=19
I’m not overly familiar with Mr. O’Dowd. Maybe he isn’t 41 as the article states.
BrocNessMonster
He was 41 when the article was published, in 1999. He was born in 1958.

I think he was actually drafted, it’s likely he was playing minor league ball at 19.
Fake Name
Regardless, that post is written really weird. To me oversaw implies supervising in an official position not being around and watching. I guess I can put “oversaw Operation Deset Storm” and “oversaw construction of Comcast Corporate Headquarters” on my resume. Anyway, it’s all good fun.
BrocNessMonster
Well yeah, whatever. Overseeing a minor league system at 30 is still quite impressive… I agree.

What’s a ramrod? Car ramrod?

Sabean should be in charge of the draft and have some say in trades but ZERO control over contracts!
