Actually it does seem like they are putting in an effort to conduct a broad search which is good. Really hope they find a good GM!

It's a lasagna bake off.  

[Jay]

Guess he doesn't want to work for Jerry

Seattle's farm doesn't seem that great... is that wrong?

[Homebrewer]

A team that has finished as poorly as they have for so many seasons should be stocked with ML ready players.

Maybe that is why Gwynn is looking around for another job?

At this point, you might as well throw Reagins name in too.  Seems that's the direction the search is going.

How long before we hear Kim Ng's name?

[Homebrewer]

Yeah, gotbeer...

Make Mike the GM (this time give him the corner office, name on the door, business cards and everything)

and bring back T-Reg as "Special Assistant".

Just like old times.

Does that mean we get to draft another Trout again?   I like it.  Bring back Bane.

[Homebrewer]

Yeah...you can sign him again, but forget extending him for peanuts this time.

He's.......outta here.

[Ohtaniland]

Well they fulfilled the minority interview requirements..........

Well I'm sure we'll be getting a lot of high picks.

Not sure how the M's run their organization, but I thought Gwynn was acting as their head of player development guy.  So if they run it like the Angels used to, he wasn't so much involved with player acquisition as he was in the hiring and assigning of coaches and roving instructors.  He hasn't been there very long, I think his first year was 2012.  But, it's not a name I really want to see associated with the Angels.  One of the bigger criticisms of Jack Z's tenure with the M's is how many of their prospects have failed to develop/reach their potential.

Kim Ng would be awesome if given the opportunity. They should at least interview her if she's open to the gig.

Just fyi, she resigned from her assistant GM position with the new York Yankees.

So she's a "quitter" too
