Chuck LaMar resigned as the Asst. GM of the Philadelphia today. Barry Rozner is making noise this could be the Cubs guy.

Scouting director Tim Wilken was special assistant to GM Chuck LaMar in TB for three years.

As AGM, Player Development & Scouting, LaMar worked closely with Ryne Sandberg, who took his team to the playoffs, which start tomorrow.

Philly Asst GM Chuck LaMar abruptly resigns a month before playoffs. He's a former GM, comes from winner. Sounds like a Tom Ricketts guy.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. My knowledge of LaMar is the awful early Rays days. We'll see. It's all rumor at this point.

Could be a fit. I like the Sandberg angle.

Would be a Hendry clone. Please god no.

Ricketts fucked it up when he signed Fleita.

It will be a Quade-like guy who is desperate for a GM job and will be a yes man.

Hard to change the culture when you replace 1 guy in the front office.

What a fucking dumb ass the new owner is.

I do not know what to think of this.

The guy has had plenty of time to learn from his past mistakes and see how a first class organization runs itself. Philly did a good job of developing young players that could either play for them or be trade pieces to acquire top level talent.

I could care less that he might be a bridge to Sandberg. The Cubs could have had him already if they wanted him. While I wouldn't have a problem with him coming back I certainly don't want to select the GM based on his relationship with him. I'm fairly certain any GM could offer him the job and he would take it.

Ricketts really fucked this up because he is going to have to explain just why he had to make all of these front office decisions before hiring a GM making him look like an idiot.....and if he says he ran it by him first he is going to lose some draft picks and money for blantent tampering.

People thought Cuban would be a bad owner because his antics that some may call unprofessional. I would much rather have a little fire and passion out of an owner than one that has his head placed squarely up his ass like Ricketts.
