[L54]

Amaro to Seattle.

[LGBJ29]

Cant believe it took them this long

[TDotttt2005]

Damn it, thought AA would be able to trade Hutch to them for Nola and Franco, touting his high win total. Not to be I guess.

[dineke]

I hope he comes to Toronto.

[Stangstag]

I hope he comes to Toronto.

 

As a bat boy?

[RealAccountant]

Gillick is still there right, He loves the job AA has done here

 

AA to Philly?

[Jimcanuck]

Amaro put together one of the best teams ever, he probably already has 5 GM offers

[Atothe]

Fired via email. Really disrespectful

I doubt this alot. He inherited a great situation wth good club, good minor league team and financial flexibility and proceeded to take that ship and hit every iceberg he could find.

 

He had a playoff team his 4 four years as GM, including a WS win in his first, and WS loss in his second, but as soon as the moves and deals he made during those first four years began to take effect in years 5-8, the team sank faster than the titanic. He is largely recognized as one of the last GMs to embrace advanced statistics as even a factor in his decision making.

 

Bye bye to baseball dinosaurs. The city of Philadelphia should throw him a parade, not as a thanks, but as a "good riddance."

He doesn't even have a WS win to his name, Gillick was still at the helm.

I like this mini feud between you and jim

[TheHurl]

Jays love collecting ex GM's as super scouts. I seriously doubt he gets another GM job. Leading candidates for the Phils job will be Matt Klentak, but I think they will go with Mike Hazen (who I think might be the best guy out there). Piccolo's name should get mentioned too...there are some on MLB Network radio that say that all the of Analytical work in KC is done through him.

Everyone knows you are just making up names to sound smart.

Hingle McKringleberry says differently on his Front Offices show called Behind the Front.
