is being a GM much different than managing an investment portfolio? I think its pretty similar.

“It shows how amazingly difficult it is to keep beating the market, even for a master like Warren Buffett,” Mr. Mehta said in an interview. “And it suggests that just about everybody else should just use index funds and not even think about trying to beat the market.”

I'd say besides the true idiots out there, pretty much all the GMs have the same data, the same plan. What separates one from another? mostly luck IMO.

Will the MLB tilt the entire board in his favor? Guarantee him draft picks, spot him runs, give him free money, let him have access to other teams GM meetings, tamper with trades.....etc?

If not, than no. He wouldn't be any good.

Definitely. And the peanut vendors would pay more taxes than he does.
