Bill Bavasi Fired as GM

Tiny by Matthew on in Good News Comment 343 comments

Baker's Link

USSM Link

I figured changes were going to have to come after getting swept by the Nationals, but never did I think it would be Bavasi this soon. Is this good news for us? A lot depends on who the new hire eventually is, the search will "take place immediately" but we'll see if they're able to get much accomplished in-season if they want to bring in outside candidates.

It remains to be seen if Bavasi is just the latest and greatest (so far) scapegoat to this season or if there was actual fear that he might further jeopardize the future of the ballclub in order to try and save his job by dint of damaging trades come July. Bavasi did a decent job of trading when he was ditching veterans for prospects, but who knows.

One thing this does worry me is that firing a GM mid-season instead of waiting until after the season likely means the true heads of affiars, Lincoln and Armstrong, seem unlikely to go anywhere since they're likely the ones doing the hiring for the new GM and while it's rare enough for a team to fire it's General Manager mid-season, it is rarer still for a change to take place in team presidency mid-season.

Wait and see I suppose.

I remember running into Bavasi at Green Lake

and striking up a conversation with him. Really nice guy. He didn’t even mind my joke about dropping by an adult softball game to scout for new talent. It’s strange to see this finally happen, but it really needed to.

Bavasi is one of those people who it's extremely easy for him to be successful

regardless of his current job performance. At some point though, exceptionally poor job performance has to override being a good guy, and unfortunately, Bill reached that point about two years ago.

*Extremely easy to ROOT for him to be successful

wow that one missing word changed the whole complexion of that statement.

Well

He deserved it. I am shocked the guy who gave Wash/Silva/Batista/Speizio and so on big contracts with some of the trades he has made has lasted this long.

Shave and a haircut two ti- hey hold on.

Waaaaait a minute!

I agree with the fact that the Silva, Washburn, and Spezio deals were god awful, but we have to give Bavasi some credit for getting Batista. Obviously he’s sucking horribly this season, and he wasn’t exactly great last season, but I honestly think that Batista has had a great effect on Felix’s development. Cheesy as it sounds, thats WHY WE GOT BATISTA. So, he won 16 games (although that’s a total fluke) and has been a great influence on Felix. Pure luck on Bavasi’s part, but we shouldnt give him crap about that move. That’s what Vidro/Sexson are here for.

by Taylor H on Jun 16, 2008 1:05 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Felix has regressed as a pitcher.

If getting Batista was aimed toward making Felix better than that’s also a massive failure on Bavasi.

Not to reference ERA, but.... (I am a bad person)

Why the decline in ERA then? I’ve read Dave’s article about evaluation pitcher talent, so I understand ERA is a bad measure of that. Has his LOB% gone up? That’s a good skill to have.

So I can still like Jorge Campillo and his 2.17 ERA?

No

You can’t like them because of their ERA, or their ERA+, or their WHIP.

You can like them for their GB/FB%, K%, BB% and the like though

Personally I don't think ERA is retarded to reference.

Obviously it’s not the best reference, but we can infer that if one pitcher on the Mariners has a 2.5 ERA average (without much variation) for 3 years, and one has a 4.5 for the last 3 years, the 2.5 is much better without question.
Now if you’re basing it from different teams (defense, park, league), it gets fudgy, but I’d still have to say a 2.5 era guy is better than a 4.5 era guy (unless it’s like Florida (can’t think of a pitching nl park with great defense right now) 2.5 era and Texas 4.5, the 4.5 guy could be better, but I’ll still argue that in general, it’s a ok guideline/reference point.
