I Should Have That Job

So I admit that I think I could be the General Manager of a baseball team. Give me leverage to hire the right staff, an owner who’s willing to take some heat in the press for atypical moves, and my ego tells me that I could field a winner given a few years and an average payroll.

I think that through, though, and the only conclusion I can arrive at is I’m obviously missing something. It’s clearly harder than it looks, no my fantasy team doesn’t count, and I’d be in way over my head. My head knows that, my heart doesn’t.

But both my head and my heart are certain that I would be a better general manager than Jim Bowden and Brian Sabean. The latter received an extension from San Francisco today, and I was not considered by the Giants before the contract was signed. Their loss. No really.
