Open Thread: Sandy Alderson Press Conference

by Dex on Apr 19, 2005 9:43 AM PDT in News

Sandy Alderson is going to have a press conference later this morning. I can't find a start time for it. If you have thoughts on this, post them here.

Some speculation has included that this may be the reason that Towers didn't have the green light to give Bochy the contract extension. Sandy Alderson being a former GM will likely be more hands on than Freeman was in the position, though Towers probably fits Alderson's philosophies already. Towers being mentioned sometimes with such Moneyball style GMs as Beane, Depodesta and Epstein.

Oh and dude there's a new pope! Lemme see who this is...

Update [2005-4-19 13:19:33 by Dex]: The press conference will be at 11:30. Until then, read some of the diaries and reflect on the kinds of things Padres fans think about after a win.

I missed the press conference and the interview that Sandy Alderson gave on 1090. I was too busy eating Sushi Deli 2 with Jon. I'm so full now. So so full.

Pope Benedict

Is it simple coincidence that on the day that the new pope is named, the new CEO of the Padres is also named? Simple coincidence that while there was no pope, the Padres also saw their darkest days in the city of dirty angels?

Simple coincidence?

Coincidence?

The Pope is also a SoCal native who used to work for the A's as a team chaplain.

I don't think they're broadcasting it

I was hoping for some Q&A with the new CEO.

Back from lunch

Ah, the Too Much Show guys are talking about it now, and I missed it. I went to lunch and I missed the press conference. Oh well. We'll try again some other time.

The TMS guys make it sound like Alderson's ready to evaluate and start making some changes around here!
