As a followup to Peter Hjort's Chipper Jones piece below, I wrote a blog post about a recent Tim Marchman list ranking baseball's 30 general managers. As I wrote:
Wren came in 17th, just behind Jim Hendry. Somehow, Andy MacPhail is 12th, Dave Dombrowski is 13th, and Tony Reagins is 15th... I feel that Marchman’s list gives too much credit for Lifetime Achievement.
Marchman wrote a small followup on his blog that Peter pointed out to me, in which he acknowledges that "General Manager" in his piece "is a metonym for the work done by dozens of different people under certain specific conditions... it is a contrivance." He doesn't really address my point, but he makes a valid point nonetheless. He's a good writer, even if he totally hosed Frank Wren.
