Orioles have list of high-profile ex-GMs in case Dan Duquette leaves - Baltimore Sun

Despite strong statements Wednesday from Orioles managing partner Peter Angelos that the club is not intent on allowing executive vice president Dan Duquette to leave to become president of the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays, the Orioles have compiled a list of Plan B options in case Duquette departs.

According to an industry source, that list -- compiled in the past month -- includes four high-profile former general managers: Ned Colletti, Kevin Towers, Omar Minaya and Kevin Malone, who spent a few years in the mid-1990s as an Orioles assistant general manager.

You have Kevin Malone and Ned Colletti, who have double-handedly perpetuated "It's the Dodgers" as the answer to why the team's moves always go horribly wrong, Kevin Towers, who traded Justin Upton for Martin Prado and then a year and a half later flipped Prado to the Yankees for a minor league catcher, and Omar Minaya, who never met a Latin player he didn't like.

If you want a full front office of gm failures...

You could interview Bill Bavasi ... please... you know you want to get him out of Cincy so that we don't do something dumb when Walt retires... like promoting Bavasi to GM!

Bavasi left Cincy in November. MLB made him the new director of its Scouting Bureau. Which makes as much sense as allowing an arsonist to run a gas station. Or appointing Fred Wilpon as the chairman of the league's new finance committee.
