Huxtable?

Dolphin, even most Red Sox fans admit that Billy the kid on Oakland is the best. It's easy to build a contending team with a $200M payroll.

I agree that Theo is purely derivative of Beane.

However, I thought Schuerholtz (Braves) was generally regarded as the best GM in the business. His MLB teams win, he produces a minor league that is great at replenishing the big club, the front office administration seems to be top notch.

I would also put Ryan (Twins) in that elite category as well. All the attention gets paid to Beane for his system. Here you have a guy who hires excellent management, has an MLB club that is as productive per dollar spent as any in baseball, and who has instilled a consist approach to playing the game from his rookie leagues to the big club.

I will go with Schuerholtz because of longevity too. The fact that they only won 1 doesn't make him look as good as he could. Ryan would probably be next on my list. Not only is he great a PD but he knows how to make a good trade. Did you see what he got for AJ? :shock:

Would the Eagles GM be the best since the Eagles always make the playoffs and lose? What about the Bills in the 90's? I don't think you should get the number 1 spot for having a strategy that will make you always good, but not great.

I agree, The Braves generally have a bigger budget than the Twins & As', but Schuerholtz's longevity makes him special. Ryan is the king of player development. Beane is very good at reloading through the compensation picks and makes smart trades. Shapiro in Cleveland rarely gets taken in a trade, and his Colon for Cliff Lee, Grady Seizmore, Lee Stevens, & Brandon Phillips may be the greatest fleecing ever.

Not only is he great a PD but he knows how to make a good trade. Did you see what he got for AJ? Yeah, almost forgot about that deal. You look at the two trades we mentioned AJ & Colon, and it's no wonder GM's don't want to give up prospects anymore. Kazmir for Victor Zambrano is another one.
