JustInFudge Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Personnel You're kidding? He might be worse than Matt Millen. This guy drafted a punter in the 3rd round. Holy sh*t this better not be true. He's Idzik level bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Guy failed as a GM, but he ain't the GM here. Looks like he worked as a scout with the franchise since their inception and they were actually pretty damn successful for an expansion team up until the bottom fell out. I'm sure a lot of people will trash this hiring because he failed spectacularly as a GM, but I have no problem with some fresh blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 So he was responsible for that raid of UCLA when they got Mercedes Lewis and Jones Drew? I have no idea what he was responsible for. I just know he was a scout for them for many years and surely hit some home runs, even if he struck out like a 12 year old girl facing Aroldis Chapman when he was the GM.
