Default Arte Moreno re: Bill Stoneman

LA Times link

Quote:
[Bill] Stoneman, harshly criticized for his failure to acquire a big bat, received a vote of confidence from owner Arte Moreno. The GM is entering the final year of a contract that includes a mutual option to remain beyond 2007 as GM or a consultant

Moreno defended Stoneman against those claiming he can't pull the trigger on a deal.

"We had one deal before the deadline last July that was made," Moreno said, alluding to a trade that would have netted Baltimore slugger Miguel Tejada.

"We gave them everything they wanted, and their owner nixed the deal. So when people say Stoneman hasn't accomplished something, they don't have any idea of the time, effort and research he puts in."
Personally, I like Stoneman, but I'm concerned that it might be time for a change. I'd like to see someone like Larry Beinfest come in after the 2007 season.

Default Beinfest

I would love to see Beinfest come over as well. If Stoneman stayed on as a consultant his knowledge of the organization would remain useful.

Beinfest has made a lot of deals in Florida and done a very good job identifying good young talent.
