insidethepadres: An era begins
Howser [Hoyer] put himself "head and shoulders" above the other GM candidates, Moorad said, by compiling a detailed analysis of the Padres baseball talent, including a breakdown of how he envisioned the front office working. He needed a binder for the treatise, which runs some 50 pages. -

"It's really important to dominate your home games, to do really well," Hoyer said. "One of the advantages in San Diego is you can tailor the team to the ballpark." -
Hoyer impressed Moorad right off the bat - SignOnSanDiego.com
"I kept measuring other people against him and Jed was always first," continued Moorad, who said he interviewed "a couple" veteran general managers along with younger candidates along the lines of Hoyer. "This was the logical choice, without a doubt. I believe we found a person with a tremendous baseball pedigree." -

"The only way [to win consistently] is through scouting and player development," Hoyer said. "I want to build it from within. There's no magic formula that I learned in Boston, no 'special sauce.' It comes down to the building blocks of baseball, which are scouting and development.

Krasovic is not a Jedi fan.
I figured him for a Towers guy, but he doesn’t seem to care much for the new guy.
We're boned.

Krasovic sucks
He was okay when he was a beat writer, but his blog just seems puerile. The “Doogie Howser” thing is stale and pointless.
I agree.
Hoyer’s not that young — not for this era of GMs, and he doesn’t look like Doogie Howser, and the show went off the air 16 years ago.
That's a good point
Hoyer is actually older than Theo Epstein (by about a month), and older than Kevin Towers was when he was hired as GM.
Helloooo, Jed.

"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers
I'll be interested to see what he does with Bell.
As much as we love him, it’s probably best to trade him, as he’s not getting younger and his value will never be higher.

This needs to be published somehow
“by compiling a detailed analysis of the Padres baseball talent, including a breakdown of how he envisioned the front office working. He needed a binder for the treatise, which runs some 50 pages.”

worrisome ...
Does the Doogster have final say on player moves? “He certainly has the ability to motivate the final decisions,”

Bro...
he plan is in place. All we have to do is sit back annd wait for a title now.
Questioning Moorad is out of the question, he’s got the final say.
"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.
"I would tell those fans that we're going to play good baseball. We're going to play hard. We're going to have exciting young players..." -Bud Black
I put up
air quotes when I referred to “the plan” when I was talking to Moorad. He didn’t think it was funny and our meeting ended shortly after that.
Stan is the man with the plan
I’m gonna call Moorad “Stan” from here on out.

I have a plant named
Stan
"If and when Gaslampball ‘proclaims’ from the mountaintop, we follow blindly. That’s just how it works around here."
Another reason the BoSox will hunt AGon down this offseason
In Friar Johns take he mentioned Hoyer as stating, not sure if it was quoted or not, that Boston fielded a team that had right handed pull hitters and left handed hitters who can hit it to the opposite way to tailor to Fenway. How many homers did Adrian hit to the left side? Many!!

The Ballad of Jed Hoyer
(with apologies to Paul Henning of Beverly Hillbillies fame)
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor New Englander, all curses in their head,
Then one day, he joins the local team
And wins came round, curses be dead
Titles that is, not one, but two
Well the first thing you know ol Jed’s the new heir,
Kinfolk said “Jed move away from there”
Said “A GM is where you ought to be”
So he loaded up the truck and moved to Californy.
San Diego, that is. Petco Park, Padres Baseball
Well now its time to get to work for Jed and his new kin
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in.
You’re all invited back a gain to this locality
To see him turn around the Padres History
Rebuilding that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off, have some breakfast
Y’all come back now, y’hear?

Excellent jawline
Hard not to trust him with a jawline like that.
