The Spend Big Model has been adopted by the Yankees, the Red Sox and the Mets. Maybe the Tigers?

The Balanced Approach is one that I would say the Cardinals, the Braves, the Astros, the WhiteSox have used.

Traditional Low-Budget Draft is the technique of the Twins, the Royals over the era I would say.

The Mariners have used an intensive International Scouting Effort and trades to build their team.

And MoneyBall has been applied in some manner by the Athletics, BlueJays, Dodgers (shortlived) and RedSox.

Are there other General Management techniques that could be classified? What teams also belong in a category during the FanHome Era?

I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
