The Next GM
I can't find the post, but let me echo the comments of another blogger.
The next GM needs to be from outside the organization. One with a history of winning. One with a philosophy that can be followed.
Either Moneyball-esque or the scout-heavy focus of the Braves/Twins. Moneyball helps protect you from bad scouting, which would be the weak link in following the Braves/Twins.
I would want a combination of the two. Good scouting checked by statistics to find good prospects.
