Worst GM in Baseball

[TruffleShuffle]

Who is it?

 

Jim Hendry is pretty bad, but there are plenty more solid choices on this list! However, Dave Littlefield is gone, so a popular choice is no longer available.

[E.J.]

Now this is a good poll. Very tough choice, but I went with Sabean because he's collected players way past their prime and basically run the Giants into the ground. Doesn't help that he decided to give all that money to Zito either.

yeah i almost didn't include him, but then i thought about it more and realized that he's not very good at all. I think at one point I thought he was a very good GM, just like I thought Dusty Baker was a good manager, because the team was successful for a string of years. As it turns out, Barry Bonds was pretty much responsible for masking many of the flaws that Sabean and Baker have.

 

And when talking about Sabean, the Nathan/Liriano/Bonser for Pierzynski swap was a disaster.

I can't see MacPhail getting any votes right now. He didn't do too well in his tenure here, but in his limited time over there, he's recognized that it's imperative to trade off his big names for some new talent.

 

I'm leaning towards Bavasi right now, personally.

[Derwood]

i went with Krivsky. i originally was going to pick bowden, but he's actually managed to collect some decent offense on that team. now if only they had any pitching at all

[Post Count Padder]

I wanted to say Krivsky, but I went with Wade beacause he has a worse track record. If Littlefield didn't get thrown out on the street, he easily would have had my vote.

Sabean because the Giants' success is the least proportional to their budget. I put Colletti at #2 for the same reason.

[BigbadB]

I went with Hendry, and I used some logic for my reasoning.

 

I like it when other teams have lousy GM's. It improves the chances of stealing good players from those organizations if you have a good GM.

 

We don't have a good GM, therefore it's not even close. Hendry is the worst.

I had to flip a coin between Coletti & Sabean.... Coletti "won"

[photoguy9883]

Bavasi he hasn't been around as long as Sabean but given time I'm sure he'll prove his worthiness.

[SouthSideRyan]

Whoever voted Bowden needs to look at what he's done over the past year and a half. Yeah the Cristian Guzman and Vinny Castilla deals were mind-numbing, but he's been pretty damn respectable since the Nats stopped being orphaned. Attribute that however you want, but he (sadly) doesn't belong in the conversation with these other idiots.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

tough choice, but in the end I had to go with Daniels

[javy knows my name]

Man, if Littlefield were there we'd have four representing the NL central! What a shame.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I have a feeling if we re-do this poll in March that Colletti will run away with it.

[CubinNY]

I went with Krivsky. The Reds underachieve every year and he just hired Dusty.

[Post Count Padder]

Man, if Littlefield were there we'd have four representing the NL central! What a shame.

And yet we all wonder why this is such a bad division.

[Drew Doughty]

This. Colletti is just terrible.

[killthegoat06]

I said the Giants' GM.

Sabean

[Mugged By Fluffy]

I go with Sabean too, but would like to add an honorable mention to the space alien that has invaded Omar Minaya's body and is making the offseason decisions for the Mets.

[frostwyrm]

Krivsky is impressing me lately. He hired Dusty Baker, who was the worst possible choice for a team loaded with young talent, then he went 4/46 for a relief pitcher. Awesome.

[CoolHandLuke]

How can Bavasi have so few votes?

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

I voted Sabean, and I'm wondering if he is the worst of all time? Just might be.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

also, Jim Bownden has really had a great offseason, IMO.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I had to say Sabean

 

I dont know what the guy loves about 35+ yr olds. its almost creepy
