Padres will need to move Adrian Gonzalez ?

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:02:00 +0000

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 ...

Madden: Yanks not so perfect

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:02:00 +0000

If nothing else, the Yankees' inability to close out the ALCS in five games exposed some of their vulnerability that didn't show up during the regular season when they led the majors with 103 wins.

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 ...

Maybe Now Omar Will Listen

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:30:23 +0000

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 ...

Padres Introduce Hoyer

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:20:41 +0000

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.

Padres select Hoyer as general manager

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:32:54 +0000

A tip-off? He was a pitcher. Jed Hoyer never pitched a game in the major leagues, or even the minors. But he has done considerable duty on the mound, and that's seemingly become a prerequisite for positions of major responsibility with the Padres, who tomorrow will introduce Hoyer as their new ...
