Who would you rather have as GM?

  • Dave Dombrowski

  • Brian Cashman

Results are only viewable after voting.
You know him, he's Mr. and Mrs. Cashman's Son....remember?
 
Oh yeah, the premature bald guy who stepped in shit quite a few years back.
 
Cannot believe that the Golden Knights Parachute team let Cashman do a jump with them. They must have made sure that the men in MOS 92R (Parachute Rigger) were not bitter Yankee Fans disgruntled with his job performance. If he decides to do another jump I'd be glad to come back on active duty to OJT in that MOS.
 
...^^^riddle of the day; What do you call Brian Cashman jumping from a plane with a purposely defective parachute ?

...Hint; there are more than 1 acceptable answers.
 
Neither. Dombrowski's won nothing. Learned that he desperately needed a bullpen in 2012 but didn't address it and watched his BP blow 2013, gifting an ALCS to the Red Sox. When he wins a WS I'll give him due props, until then he's another Beane. My opinion of course, sure I'll be smited for it.
 
I was gonna go with either "an improvement"...or "justifiable homicide".

...lol..."smited"?...OK

...the question is not who has won the most WS but I'll be glad to create another poll so you can vote. I guess any GM whose players have not won a WS is not worth having ?...is that right/..is that your only criteria?

...and can't believe you brought up Beane...Beane and Dombrowski are both generally considered among the top GMs in the game.
 
Everybody has blown Billy Beane for years. What has he won? Both guys have had the window, Dombrowski's has been open for a few years, and neither has been able to deliver. Great rosters? Hurray. Win something. I know that would be the cry here if the Yanks had Detroit's roster.
 
...so again, WS titles is your only criteria for a GM?

...btw, thanx for turning a simple yes or no poll into something else. If you didn't feel like voting for either, fine...but this, I don't get.
 
I do know one thing when he hits (the ground),
it's a THUD!............just like the players
on the Yankees!

I didn't have to google to tell you who everybody loves. I already told you that Beane's been getting blown for year. Heck, that first link with Cherington as #2 shows you what a joke baseball writers are. Put Sabean at the top of my list. I give Dombrowski the nod as a great talent evaluator but that guy better win something before all is said and done.

...yes, the overwhelming majority is wrong. You are right.

...and anyone who thinks Beane or Dombrowski is a better GM than Cashman is "a joke".

Don't twist my words here. Cherington as #2 is the joke I refer to. I'm no Cashman apologist, the guy has more resources than anyone, but Beane and Dombrowski can continue their success but I personally don't hold them on a pedestal until they complete the job. Dombrowski has had the team to do it but needs to complete the job.

Sheesh, it's a struggle to not have a conforming opinion around here.
 
... I "twisted your words"....lol...OK, if you say so. If you can find a legit source that puts Cashman at the top, fine, go ahead and provide it. But I at least provided something that countered your stance but you dismissed that too.

...again, you're the one who, instead of either voting or not voting at all, decided to take this simple poll and turn it in a different direction...and you can't lay that on me either. Beane and Sabean and others were not on the ballot because this poll was born out of another thread debating who was better, Cashman or Dombrowski?....it's as simple as that.

...and neither is anyone denying you your opinion, but again, in this case virtually everyone believes that Dombrowski is a better GM than Cashman and that alone is what this is about. So don't think otherwise if others disagree.

That's taking a quote from me out of context and I felt you're taking my words as meaning something they don't. Cashman is just a regular guy who stepped in *it as far as I'm concerned. I just am not ready to give Dombrowski the credit I feel he should eventually deserve. I screamed for that team to build a bullpen after 2012 and then lost my breakfast, lunch and dinner as that bullpen essentially handed the Red Sox another trip to the WS - the Tigers were by far the better team.

If it makes you feel any better, I reneged on my stance and tried to get back to the topic at hand an voted on your poll. I think I'm in the majority for once according to the poll results.
 
No one can strike a deal like Beane, no one......

No one has done more with less, than Billy Beane.......while averaging the 4th lowest payroll, in the last 7 years, (2008).

Beane gets the most bang for his buck.......Who else on God's Green Earth, goes to Post Season Play more often, than most, with less?

NTM- who else has ever acquired any player in a trade, for only 1$.....?

If Beane were GM of a team lacking skinflint owners he's go to town.

Exactly..........

Who can build a Team with less. Basically, without the funds to enable the A's keeping their better past players around.

If Beane had half of what the majority of teams pay out, he too would have a helluva bullpen......rather, The A's would be firing on all cylinders at all positions, IMO......
 
...yup, can you imagine what Cashman would have done with the A's payroll?...or what other GMs may have done with the Yanx' payroll?
 
Exactly, the entire Point of this convo, is that alone, what Beane could do with what other GM's are given to spend. As well as Trash-man, doing little to ensure another decade of dominance.

...bern, that certainly was not my intent...and if you took it that way, I apologize.
...but again, nobody said or implied that Dombrowski was the end all as far as GMs go. Like I explained, the only reason this poll was made is because there was a discussion in a different thread debating who was the better GM between the two. It had nothing to do with declaring Dombrowski as the best GM, but instead, the better GM when compared to Cashman.

...as far as how you chose to vote, that's entirely up to you.
 
which team would rather have Cashman over their incumbent GM? I cant recall over seeing a rumor that Cashman may leave and go to X team.
 
Cashman: the Good Lord doesn't want him and the Devil doesn't know what to do with him.
 
Beane just amazes the hell out of me when it comes to spoting talent. He could clean house & yet the team is always contending.
