Colletti Hired
Also at dodgers.com.
For reference, here's yesterday's post on Colletti's bona fides.
Update: Beat you to it, Steve.
Update 2: Want to be depressed? Look at this list of general managers. Four GMs from 1950 through 1998, and one of those -- Fresco Thompson -- was a one-year temp in 1968 until Al Campanis took over.
Update 3: Also at the Times.
Update 4: Blogosphere: Jon implores Colletti to "Be smart. Be good"; Fire The McCourts wonders why Colletti gets a pass for the Giants' injury-marred 2005 while DePo gets cut, asking the (im?)pertinent question of the man he calls Ned Flounders,
What have the Giants done where someone from the outside would say "Hey, that organization is headed in the right direction. We should go get someone who embodies that philosophy and get him to run our organization."?Steve claims McCourt is, at last, a rational man, rejecting all Moneyball and replacing it with old-school baseballism (in the sense that he is at least being consistent). "His main qualification was his nondiscriptness -- feeding the ongoing McCourtinization of the Dodgers." Blue Think Tank is aphasic and breaking out the sackcloth.
Update 5: Catfish Stew snarks, "....if you're an A's fan...shhhhh...keep a low profile...Chad Billingsley could be in an Oakland uniform any day now..."
