Last week I challenged you to name a qualification for any would-be Diamondbacks GM hire:
Must have
Extreme vacuuming abilities. Rumor has it there is a lot if grit in the front office that needs to be cleaned up…
We need a GM with a time machine,
So he can go back and undo all of Kevin Towers’ unthinkably terrible trades.
Management oppotunity
Successful candidate will have thick skin from attacks by skitterish fan base. Must be willing to stay away from trades with Billy Beane and Jerry Di Poto .
A good working knowledge of pool maintenance is a plus. Former Padres employees need not apply.
Magician
Requirements for an experienced magician.
1) make big contracts for replacement level performance dissappear.
2) when players are injured, pull replacements out of nowhere – hat optional.
3) pull coins out of the owners’ ears – use them for more players/prospects.
4) able to find beautiful & entertaining assistants – keeps fan interest high and distracts from the magic.
I think we should only consider candidates
that have experience as con-artists. We’re overdue to come out on the winning end of some trades.
