New D-Backs GM is apparently....

[Angel Oracle]

...former MLB pitcher and current player agent Dave Stewart.

This should be interesting.

Then again, he couldn't be as bad as Kevin Towers was.

Interesting because he's black? C'mon AO! It is 2014. We do not need to perpetuate a culture of intolerance based on race or high-pitched 5-year-old-girl-voiceism!

LOL

Going from player agent to GM could be interesting though.

I remember Dave Stewart talking about how he blocked everyone's view of Steve Howe in the bullpen so he could do cocaine during the game. And he made no apologies for it. He was just "being a good team mate". Strange set of values. If memory serves he finished 2nd in Cy Young voting 3 or 4 years in a row and never won.

And if memory serves he was once arrested for receiving oral gratification from a tranny in some dark alley.  Like the night before the Rangers were to give him their "Good Guy of the Year" award.

That was Eddie Murphy.

Fair or not, this is the first thing I think of when Stewart's name is mentioned.

Interesting pick, he was a good agent. Definitely better than Towers. Too bad Kirk Gibson is employed by a MLB team. He should have been suspended for some of his beanball decisions this year.
