Gaslamp Ball Proclamation: Gaslamp Ball officially believes that Kevin Towers should continue to be General Manager of the San Diego Padres

Gaslamp Ball will occasionally provide endorsements and judgments in the world of baseball and beyond. Should Gaslamp Ballers need to cast a vote or require an official opinion, look for Gaslamp Ball Proclamations first to see what our official stance is. Thank you.
After thinking about all of the special times that GM Kevin Towers has had with the Padres, Gaslamp Ball has come to the conclusion that he should remain in employ with the team not only for next season, but the season after and into perpetuity. While he remains of this Earth, no decision should ever be made in regards to the Padres' player personnel without first consulting Mr. Towers.
Should Kevin Towers, at a later date, become obviously unfit for the position of General Manager, we'll probably have to stage a coup.

Statue in the park?

Rename the park in his honor
Kevin Towers is a pretty cool name for any tall architecture.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Ive scoffed at almost every KT trade
only to eat my words a few weeks or months later. SAVE KT!
DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

Me too.
I thought KT had lost his mind after the Scott Hairston and Jake Peavy trades. Shows how smart I am….

Same here.
Most specifically the Hairston and Peavy trades. But I see now that they were smart moves that needed to be made and I respect KT for making them, even though many of us were against them.

I have to think that 95% of GLBers
Would be pissed if KT wasn’t the GM

Ya i went back to check numbers
But you don’t have to be a member of this blog to vote on that if i am correct?
Plus i still haven’t seen that 14 % speak up. I’d like to know who voted no and their reasoning.

Pay KT so he never wants to go anywhere
As the rest of baseball gets smarter (think Boston) and big market teams start waking up that they can get smarter, KT will on everyone’s radar.
Big knock on Moorad if he does not back KT.

Wow Darren Smith
just said that KT will be gone come Monday.

Darren is usually right
but I hope he is dead wrong on this…..

Ugh
I hope it’s not true. I can’t get the Darren Smith webcast to work right now.

Anybody else listening online?
Is it working?

I’m listening, but he’s talking about SDSU football

am I on the wrong link?
I’m just listening to XX 1090, is there something I’m missing. If so, please give the link

what?
what was his logic? A hunch? A tip? Why are you guys so confident he is right?
by NeifiChicken on Oct 2, 2009 1:40 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
cuz Darren has lots of spies

What did he actually say though? What did he hear? What has he been right about before?
by NeifiChicken on Oct 2, 2009 1:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
the search has begun for the replacement
and unless a big change of mind, KT is gone on monday
by Kozak on Oct 2, 2009 1:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't know
I’m still pretty skeptical. I’d bet KT is still the GM next year
by NeifiChicken on Oct 2, 2009 1:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
you dare question
the great Darren Smith?

Who would replace him?
Someone from within, like depo? Moorad himself?

it won’t be Moorad. If he is gone, which I find unlikely, it could be Woodfork replacing him

Yah I don't believe it either

Don't be suprised
Depo has a full understanding of the new math and a deep background in scouting.
by field39 on Oct 2, 2009 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, I don’t get why people wouldn’t be happy with him. He is a good combo of stats/scouting despite what he is stereotyped as due to Moneyball

I really hope that isnt true.

WHY?????
why why why must they do this when the team has finally seemed to get its sea legs?
KT doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment!!!!

Kevin Towers
It would be a HUGE mistake for ownership to get rid of KT…………There is no better GM available that can live within the budget that the Padres have………..DON’T DO IT……..
