No surprise. New GM = wants his own guy.

Pretty much.

New GM and mediocre sitting manager...this is the right move.

 

[td_ice]

I know he didn't have much talent to work with while in Pittsburgh, but I always thought he was a crap manager.

 

[Extra Texture]

Yeah, expected this. And I guess its good if the goal is to change the culture of the franchise

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Mariners making the right moves so far.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Must be nice to be a fan of a team, where the GM gets to hire his own manager

 

[Silentjury]

Smart move.

I think Dipoto is going to turn this team into a perennial contender eventually. It will take some time given their weak farm system, but I think he has the ability to acquire the necessary resources via trade and free agency once they start to compete.
