Wayne Krivsky Transactions

[camisadelgolf]

Well, as we all know, Wayne is out the door. I've kept track of all his transactions since he took over as GM. I just thought some people might like to look them over.

A hyphen (-) by the name means the player is no longer in the organization. I'm not sure where the three players at the bottom of the list are. I think they've been released and it just hasn't been noted anywhere on the internet.

If anyone has additions or corrections, I'd appreciate it.

You can remove the hyphen by Andy Phillips. We re-claimed him from the Mets this past week.

[edabbs44]

Curious how the quantity stacks up against other GMs.

One thing about WK's reputation...some of his backers tend to throw sample size out the window on a few of his moves. Guys like Arroyo, Keppinger and D Ross helped Wayne to earn his reputation of picking diamonds out of the rough. But after it plays out, they end up losing a little of their luster.

Bottom line is he hit a few HRs in his tenure, but he picked a bunch of losers as well. I would love to have him in the scouting and development department. But not as a GM.

that's every GM in the history of the game. the luster is decided by the quality of those diamonds, not by the amount of mining.

Ah Sun-Woo Kim.

But you'd have to make the determination if the method of finding those diamonds will likely yield additional diamonds in the future.

Based upon certain circumstances, I think that Wayne was more lucky than good. He had open roster slots and some former top tier prospects were available for a song. He gets credit for making the moves, no doubt. But I don't think that opportunities like that happen too often. And I would be willing to bet that it would be a long time before he found another Hamilton or Phillips. So I would be more interested in the other areas of his game which, IMO, left a bit to be desired.

Let him function in a scouting capacity. Let someone else construct a roster. That was his downfall.

Sure, but you also have to look at the lumps of coal.. moves that set the team back by wasting money and tying up roster spots.

I don't mind 1 year rolls of the dice with guys like Patterson and Joe Mays as much as the Stanton and AGon type signings...

A lot of Wayne's moves on that list were pretty much inconsequential, as are many moves of a lot of GMs...

But that's an impressive bit of work.. That must've taken a long time to compile. This will be a good post to save for reference.

Oh, Lord. How much bandwidth are we going to waste rehashing the same old thing again and again?

I am too with the correct working qualifiers and classifications.

1. Against the similiar market size - demorgrahpics of the city and surrounding area.

2.Within the same payroll budget range of 5 millions dollars. 79 mil-74mil-69mil

3. Within the same investor criteria for their invesment portfolio regarding the specific franchise holdings. (how they directed their funds and assets were to be utilized or disbursed.)
Since general managers are their agents, and must act under prudent man theory, on the investors behalf.

Too much, my friend. Much too much.

While I know what you are getting at (and there is some validity), I think you are overthinking things.

We all know that the Reds organization had some pitching and defense weakness from ten or more years neglect and poor planning from bad management, dating back to the Bowden years.

Of all players drafted, signed, or traded for
What quantity were pitchers
What quantity were defense oriented position players
What percentage of the aggregate were these pitchers and defensive type players.

How many Krivsky drafts still remain in the system to be judged at the proper time

How did Krivsky acquisitions compare to franchises and organizations that had extreme competitive advantages in capital investments over the Cincinnati Reds organization

New York Mets         $ 137,793,376    (-63,675,681) 
Los Angeles Dodgers   $ 118,588,536    (-44,470,084) 
Atlanta Braves        $ 102,365,683    (-28,247,988) 
Philadelphia Phillies $ 98,269,880     (-24,152,185) 

Chicago Cubs          $ 118,345,833    (-44,228,138) 
St. Louis Cardinals   $ 99,624,449     (-25,506,754) 
Houston Astros        $ 88,930,414     (-14,812,719)

Cincinnati Reds $ 74,117,695

Exactly, stumbling across a big diamond in a field doesn't make me qualified for leading the next expedition.

Results count. But in assessing what sorts of results you're likely to go in the future, past process is a better predictor than past results.

some validity ?

I made sure I wrote those words, from finance and accounting correctly as is traditionaly accepted standards, norms, and practices, in the business world within the capitalistic market system, there is much validity.
