Our problem is that we have the worst GM in all of baseball, if not all of sports. His philosophy about running a baseball team is catastrophically wrong. He just doesn't understand that the way to build a winning team is through FA and then add a couple of pieces with LMG's. He should have a maximum of 3 or 4 LMG's on the roster. Doofus Huntington's system has never won even 1 Divivsion championship, will not win a Division Championship this year, and will not win a Division Championship in future years. He will just go on promising a future to the fans that will never get here.

First of all, what the heck is a LMG? Light machine gun? I don't know how that would help the current situation.

Secondly, I appreciate the negative people angled against NH on this board. We need the variety. I also think NH has pulled some boneheaded moves in his career. However, you do remember that he was the chief conductor of the team that went to the playoffs 3 times (after losing for 20 years) and won 98 games. I appreciate the passion, but for me, you lose credibility with the over exaggerated language (worst GM in baseball and maybe all of sports).

I agree with the highlighted portion above. While I do not agree I like the discussion that ensues between the yeasayers and the naysayers as long as there are not attacks on each other.

I think that a GM can go from being the best to the worst when he does not look around and adjust to the what other teams are doing in putting a team together and change his ways. Only problem with HN is that he has a cheapskate owner holding the purse strings.

So keep the yea and nay posts coming just let them be gentlemanly toward each other.

I don't think the "never won a championship" is a good indicator of the quality of a player/coach/front office. Lot's of the greatest ever never won a championship. Conversely, all sorts of subpar players and coaches have won championships.

I think it is different for players and GM's. Of course there are great players who never had enough good players on a team to win a championship. But the purpose of a GM is to field a winning team. There are no good/great GM's who have never won anything.
