So on my way home from the Yankees game last night as they got pummeled by the Baltimore Orioles. I was listening to 1050 ESPN Radio and Brandon Tierney brought up an interesting question. If all of the GM's in baseball quit and you had the opportunity to pick a team to become the general manager with the exception of the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox and Dodgers. Your choice should be based on payroll, fan base, location, and baseball history, what team would you choose.
BT's co host Rob Parker said he would choose the Cincinnati Reds. Based on history, fans and he said he would like to bring back baseball to prominence like it was with the big red machine. BT said he would like to revitalize the nation's capitol and get baseball to boom there. Other places he mentioned would be good, Toronto and Seattle.
Baseball's big towns don't need much help, New York, Boston, these places will never die when it comes to baseball. I would love to GM the Chicago Cubs, the team hasn't won in forever although this year seems to be a possibility for them. The history with Chicago baseball is never ending whether its the east of the west side of Chicago, White Sox or Cubs. Another team which would be nice to rebuild would probably be the Kansas City Royals. The Royals are a team full of young talent just not enough money and resources to get over the hump. If it wasn't for the shared revenue teams like the Marlins, Royals, Rays and Pirates might die out.
So I pose the question to you now, what team would you like to bring to a championship and develop into a winner?
