I am a “die hard” White Sox fan (whatever the hell that means), and I am coming to this conversation late in the game, but even more surprisngly I took the time out of my day to post this:

Ruben Amaro Jr. is in 19th place? Huh? The Phillies continue to be one of the most loaded teams in Major League Baseball, and one could argue that they are amongst the most well balanced teams this side of the Yankees in the past 25-30 years. This team is deep and great. Even after a nominally slow start, they are still on track to win 100 games. I know this thing was put together after Gillick and Amaro won the big Cliff Lee race, but come on! Open your eyes man!

I might give you six words on this one NJPhilsFan. Raul Ibanez, Roy Halladay, Placido Polanco. Can’t give you Danys Baez and Placido Polanco is cutting it close.

oooohhh sorry andrew i just saw ur post. i reckon i should read all posts b4 i start typing away haha. most dollars spent per win is a good way to rate them but i don’t think its that easy to rate a gm’s performance. there are different goals in mind per gm and a franchise as Alex stated in his write-up

haha TCP, moneyball baby! i personally think jim hendry should be closer to the bottom of the list. i mean look at some of his latest signings: fukudome, milton bradley, alfonso soriano, aaron heilman, rich harden= bust, big bust, biggest bust, bust, kind of a bust (injured all the time and extremely high pitch counts early in games). i saw jim last year after a game at wrigley that the cubs lost and i let him know he should trade soriano but he ignored me so now i think he is an idiot. next time i see him ill let him know about amateurgm.com. i think we can all help that idiot out.

ok i got a lil worked up for a sec. Alex, I dont know if u r familiar with weighted average methods in statistics but im sure he uses something similar or he may even use his own made up heuristic (or someone elses). im not real sure how to explain it but its all subjective and this guy can make certain aspects of a gm’s job more important to his rating system that u may disagree with. im kinda curious myself to see how his rating system functions. ill do some research and let ya know if i find anything that i can make sense out of

Billy Beane is the best manager in the show hands down…he could make the yankees or any big market ball club contenders for the world series every year for half the price. The guy knows talent.

He used mostly dollars spent per win.
