Thad Levine won't interview with the Astros

PrintPer T.R. Sullivan, Thad Levine has released a statement saying that he has decided not to interview with the Houston Astros for their vacant general manager job, and has decided to forego pursuing other opportunities and instead will stay within the organization.
Pretty surprising announcement...Levine had been granted permission to interview with the Astros, and had been mentioned as a while as a prominent candidate for the Houston g.m. job.
Levine was also being considered as a replacement for Scott Servais as the Rangers' Director of Player Development, and while that seemingly would be a lateral move, part of the appeal for him would be getting to manage a department, and thus enhance his resume and future marketability.
I can't help but wonder if this announcement is due to the fact that the Rangers are giving Levine the position he wants in the Rangers' organization, along with a nice raise, and Levine is going to stay here for the time being to enhance his profile and better position himself for a move to a team that is better situated than the Astros.

Hair, stomach, dress...yep.
Though she might be wearing a ring, in which case that would be small.

Adam, I know you read WWTDD, so I'm curious what you think about Beyonce's fake pregnancy.

smart man
he saw what eventually happens to disciples of GMs who haven’t had that experience managing a dept; get some experience and then get the job you want…
First
baby brother decides not to take either managerial job, then brings in big brother and now Levine wants to stay. I like the way this is going.
Yeah our FO rocks..
I expect us to lose Thad one day but I would love for him to win a world series with us before that happens.
Winning teams are a bit easier to recruit to, eh?

Cool. Cool.

That Edwin Jackson he is the real deal.

holyshit
Houston signing Edwin Jackson to a long term deal would be the most Astros signing possible this FA period, I think.

I believe that was the Carlos Lee signing.

This doesn't affect that
The job is and has always been Friedman’s to lose.
Levine pulling out just means Crane needs a new plan B.

Hang with good team, get a ring, pad the resume more?... or
Go to Houston and deal with years and years and years of suckage?
Good move Theo.

This goes back to my thought that really, really good FOs are the new market efficiency
Yes, they’ve always been important, but now there’s less room for error under the new CBA unless you go big in FA.
Football can go to hell. The Rangers aren't ready for football season and neither am I.
