It's most everyone's belief that he will be gone very shortly after everything is settled down with the new ownership. Nearly every move he has made has blown up. I'm sure Kasten will want to bring in his own man to be the GM. Who that will be, I haven't heard.Quote:

Sorry to be a butthead. But I heard, "Some people say" on talking head shows too many times.
It's the sportswriters and talking heads who say they have their sources. That's all I can go by and my own opinion. IMO Bowden has done nothing to deserve to be kept on as GM. Nearly every move from the beginning has been bad. From signing Castilla and Guzman last season, to the Soriano signing without finding out if he was willing to play LF, to signing Brian Lawrence without doing an MRI on his arm, it's been nearly a disaster.Quote:

Personally, I'm very happy, b/c our firm represents Mr. Lerner's development company in real estate and land use transactions. We're not doing the ballpark, unfortunately, but this is exciting news for us.
Anthony Williams wanted another group, however, and was very vocal about it. Wonder how that will play.

I wouldn't worry about JimBo. There's always ESPN.
Maybe he can get a job on the best darn sports show period :D
