Surprised Jerry Dipoto isn't on the list.

Can't not see Ray Montgomery filling in for him

Why not 5 or 6 of us?

Me too. He'd be good

I'm not sure if I agree with Tom's point that they're unlikely to promote Ray Montgomery because he just got the job as scouting director. Wouldn't a new GM be inclined to bring along his own scouting department as well?

I wonder if Doug gets to see through this rebuild or if he'll go into a different position. I don't feel he is going to get fired.

I think Doug is setting up his replacement. He most likely will still within the organization so it makes sense to be invested in it.

yes i can see him being like VP of Baeball ops or some ****. I thought it would be craig counsel intill the man signed a 3 year deal.

Counsel actually has been pretty decent manager, so i want him to stick around. But Roeinkie imo never got a fair shake, we gave Yost such a long long long tenure, and Roenkie has a few bad months he is gone.

I feel bad for KC, they have a good talented core, and being a small market team their window is very short, as we know. To be stuck with a terrible manager must suck.

Dombrowski

**** no

You wouldn't want Dombroski?

Question, if Jack Z gets fired in Seattle should the brewers bring him in?

Dombrowski's prowess is a bit hard to judge when his team was comfortable spending gobs of money on Miggy, Prince, Verlander, Martinez, and Price, to name a few. That doesn't mean he didn't make some good moves during his time (acquiring Miggy for example), but I'm not convinced he's the right fit for a small market.

He did well with the Marlins/Expos

ONLY in a role similar to he had here. Definitely not as a GM

In his defense to an extent, and likely every other GM's, if you put together a team headlining those names you don't exactly expect the results that the Tigers incurred during most of his tenure. The two WS appearances were nice and the 4 straight division titles as well.

I would welcome him, he's got a track record of putting together nice teams and has operated in both market extremes.

Well I doubt that would happen, I guess it could if he gets fired, and doesn't get anther chance elsewhere.

Pass on Jack Z. Im very happy with what we have in Ray Montgomery

So Melvin is officially out in 2016.
