Will takes a tremendous beating in the blogosphere, a bit deserved, but most of it not. It is only fair to praise him with the same amount of emotion, and so, here is Will’s list of potential GM candidates from Jun 2008. You can cross #2 off your list.

1. Jed Hoyer (Assistant GM, Red Sox)
2. Jack Zduriencik (Scouting Director, Brewers)
3. Rick Hahn (Assistant GM, White Sox)
4. Mike Rizzo (Assistant GM/Scouting, Nationals)
5. Tony LaCava (Assistant GM, Blue Jays)
6. Mike Chernoff (Director of Baseball Operations, Indians)
7. John Ricco (Assistant GM, Mets)
8. John Abbamondi (Assistant GM, Cardinals)
9. Thad Levine (Assistant GM, Rangers)
10. Peter Woodfork (Assistant GM, Diamondbacks)

Johnny Ricco? Wasn’t he in Starship Troopers?

#2 philly (see all posts) 2008/10/22 (Wed) @ 20:15

And numbers 1, 3, 5 and 10 all either interviewed or declined the opportunity.

#3 Nick Steiner (see all posts) 2010/01/20 (Wed) @ 02:46

He was also right about Hoyer and Rizzo (sorta).

#4 philly (see all posts) 2010/01/20 (Wed) @ 08:45

Why sorta? He’s a GM. I’d say 3 out of the top 4 getting jobs is very good.

LaCava and Woodfork are still considered hot candidates when a job opens up. And Ricco has become much more visible with the Mets to the point that many think he’ll replace Minaya unless the Mets feel that they have to go outside the organization.
