Any critical articles on Beeston this year??

[Olerud363]

Just curious if there have been any critical articles in the media at all about Paul Beeston this year?? I haven't seen one. Other then the comments on boards like this.

 

Not that the media has to fry the guy as I like to. But can't they just write an article questioning wether he is up to the job?? Maybe someone has and I missed it.

 

Is Paul Beeston equipped to be a major league baseball president in the year 2013?? And go up against guys like Theo Epstein?? What is the role of the president??

 

In my mind the president has to be able to embrace modern technologies, things like modern statistical analysis, has to understand things like Twitter. Has to understand the role of scouts in the information age.

 

No he doesn't have to be hands on with all this... he just needs to be able to understand the various problems that can come up... like

 

1. Is the front office using modern statistical analysis properly??

2. Are the scouting resources allocated properly given the richness of publically available resources??

3. Are the players using social media appropriately??

 

So has any media looked at Beeston critically, examined what the role of president should be, and asked honestly wether Beeston is up to it in the modern age??

 

Maybe he is and I'm wrong on this... but it would be nice to see someone look at his performance.

Sports is no different than politics in this regard... The Toronto sports writers are in bed with Beeston... They likely believe he can walk on water
