Mozeliak vs. Antonetti??

1892_tiny by 82Special on

I know that this is not a fair basis for comparison, but...

There was plenty of talk during the GM search about whether or not Mozeliak was a secondary option and whether or not Antonetti from the Cleveland organization would have been a better GM in St. Louis.

One interesting thing to consider, and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, is the Brian Barton situation.

Antonetti's organization made him expendable.  Mozeliak's organization is going to have him on the opening day roster.

Many factors could be involved:

  • maybe Cleveland's outfield prospects really are that much better than ours, and they don't have room for Barton in their system
  • maybe Barton really is one of the worst prospects overall that Cleveland has, and they couldn't protect from the Rule 5 Draft
  • maybe Antonetti wanted to keep Barton but was overruled by his boss
  • or, maybe Mozeliak got the best of Antonetti on this one

    • What do you guys think? Are you happy with Barton's acquisition? (dumb question)  Are you pleased with Mozeliak's job performance to date?

     

     

     

    Poll
    On a scale of 1 to 10, how pleased are you with Mozeliak's job performance to date? (10 represents extreme pleasure with Mo)
