I agree. We need a GM who a) understands stats/sabermetrics and b) knows how to use these to make decisions given a budget (of $117M in the M's case). This is how baseball works nowadays. If we had such a GM, we wouldn't have signed Washburn and Silva to long term contracts.
Quoted: Whoever comes in cannot continue to suggest in public that the Mariners have one of the top defenses in baseball. They don't. There are too many stats out there suggesting they don't. A new GM has to be able to look at those stats, know what they mean and proceed accordingly. We've all seen what a great defense looks like. And while I didn't think Seattle's defense would make or break this team's playoff chances, you'd never catch me -- in public or private -- calling it one of the top units in the AL.

My latest blog entry...
1 FaverViewed: 3 TimesQuoted: It hit me like a ton of bricks today - this will be my first time voting in Washington State elections. So, it seems problematic that I know more about Gov. Corzine's record in New Jersey or Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to seek a third term in New York than I do about Gregoire and Rossi.

Working on an article about the book that came out of this story... So sad.
1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: For six years, Fekkak Mamdouh, whom everyone knew by his surname, had been a waiter at Windows on the World, the luxury restaurant on the 107th floor of the North Tower. He had started working there in 1996 when Windows reopened after the 1993 terrorist bombing in the World Trade Center basement.
