MacPhail

Recently Rick Maese did an article grading Andy MacPhail's performance as Orioles' President. I think its a cool concept, but I think Maese did a horrible job. Here are my comments. Vote in the poll to the right to evaluate MacPhail's performance.

"Uh, frankly I think this is kind of stupid. It seems like a good idea but that you struggled to come up with content so you just assigned MacPhail as the responsible party and then gave him a bad grade for it. By your logic, should we give MacPhail credit for the new Orioles Magic music video, staring players on this year's team? If so, he gets an A++ for that.

Why don't you start off by saying what his job responsibilities are, which in my opinion, is building a championship team from the ground up without Angelos interference, which he has done thus far . In face, I'd say he's done a pretty damn good job with that so far, restocking the farm system and getting great players back in both the Bedard and Tejada trades.

And the O's have a good product on the field. And making Trembly the manager on not an interim basis and keeping him on for this year was MacPhail's decision too."
