I will be disgusted if AA gets promoted to Beeston's role. He should be a prime candidate to get turfed, not for a promotion.

Please don't hire Kenny Williams.
Let's just remember that the President is not the same as the GM. The Pres is responsible for a lot of things outside of building the roster.
Williams has been a successful Exec, lots of tenure and let's not forget he has a WS to his name.
Whoa, Beester is gone??
Why do people want AA to leave??? He's a great drafter and while he hasn't been GM long enough to see all his prospects perform in the big leagues, he has drafted Sanchez, Hoffman, Syndergaard, Stroman, Norris, Bickford (probably a top 5 pick in next year's draft), Nicolino, etc...He rebuilt our farm to a top 3 system before the Marlins trade and has rebuilt it since then. He's made some great trades, some of which didn't work out in the end. The only deal of his that I hated was the Dickey trade just because I didn't think it was necessary to include Syndergaard in that deal. He's taken risks but then again, the core of this team offensively is mainly past their 30's and if he kept with the internal growth process, Bautista and Encarnacion probably would have been traded. IMO, AA is a great GM and a great drafter and it will be a mistake if the Jays fire him.
We are talking about getting a new President, not a new GM.
I know...I meant if the new president wants to hire his own guy instead of keeping AA.
At least Duquette (unlike Williams) has a track record of building a player development powerhouse that churns out talent.
Duquette will fire AA after this year and bring in his own GM.
Count me as another person who doesn't want Kenny Williams. Getting Duquette would be awesome. Also, I hope AA doesn't get fired/replaced.
