Random weird flash of the day

I just saw an item that said that J.P. Ricciardi was hired as the Blue Jays g.m. in November, 2001.

That was the same time John Hart was hired.  Ricciardi has been the g.m. for Toronto as far back as when Hart first came on board with Texas...the offseason where we lost all our draft picks for signing Todd Van Poppel, Jay Powell, Juan Gonzalez, and Chan Ho Park.

That seems like a long, long, long time ago...

He needs to be fired, too.

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.

every1 gets fired in baseball sooner or later.

I think

He gets canned this offseason. He’s done little to improve the team, and ran his mouth a few times this season, made himself look like a jackass.

he needed to be fired

around the same time Hart “resigned”. He just sucks as a GM and makes it even worse by opening his mouth every day

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Ricciardi's record

549-553.

Not sure his current minor league crop points the arrow upwards.

His job can’t last much longer, and having the Rays blew by him can’t help.
