I'm sure that are dozens of great managers who did time in the
minors.

If we are able to bring in Andrew Friedman, do you think he
would keep Tim Wilken?
When Friedman was hired in Tampa, Wilken only stayed on for one
year before he moved on to us.

I think that's more of a reflection of what he had to work with
in Tampa Bay as opposed to Chicago. Also his connection with
Jim Hendry.

I like Friedman as a GM possibility, and losing Wilken certainly
wouldn't be a deal breaker. I'd take that trade-off any day.

Yeah, Tim Wilken is far from irreplaceable.

Any of us on this board could manage a team and probably win 50
games.

This may be the best compliment I've ever gotten from you, Curt.

Was listening tonight on local San Francisco radio and a local
sportswriter reported that Billy Beane's friends are saying he
would be interested in speaking with Tom Ricketts and that he's
intrigued by the Cubs situation.
This writer suggested that Beane's equity position in the A's
wouldn't be a deal killer, as the owner and MLB would allow him
to put his stock in a trust etc.
