I don't know what to make of this,
the Gonzalez information comes in the same article in
which Bill Madden said Jason Bay's agent is Scott Boras which simply isn't true ( go here for Bay's actual agent comments on WEEI ). It wasn't just that he named Boras but insinuated that one of the ...

The Padres officially made Jed Hoyer their new
general manager : Moorad has said he wants a
more “strategic approach” from his GM. Towers was known more as a seat-of-the-pants GM who built four NL West winners during his 14 seasons as GM, and had his 1998 club reach the World ...

During the summer I was talking to a
league source that believed one of Omar Minaya’s biggest
failures was that he ignored some of the good baseball people in the Mets organization. One of those people was Sandy Johnson who originally was brought in to mentor Minaya in 2004. I was told ...

The fact that the Padres hired Jed Hoyer
as their new GM was secondary in garnering interest
for me to the unsaid implication that former GM Kevin Towers was the genesis of all the club's problems in recent years. Towers "flew by the seat of his pants"? Maybe he didn't have a choice.
