Why it makes no sense to let Suckbean make any trades

The guy's job is on the line and rightfully so. He can't judge a free agent better than Pedro Feliz can judge an outside curve ball and the only thing he's done well (draft) has been the primary responsibility of someone else in the organization
Now you're going to let this dude, who has to win now to keep his job, with a team that is several pieces away from making the playoffs and getting swept in the first round, determine your team's long term future?!?! Scary.
He's stated he's willing to make a trade to win now. He has stated doesn't care what position the bat comes from, they'll adjust accordingly (another outfielder, anyone?). How about a Jonathan Sanchez for Shea Hillenbrand, anyone? How about we bring in Ricky Ledee to shore up the outfield and we sit Lewis AND Schierholz? Maybe we can trade Cain and Wilson for AJ Pierzynski. It worked out so well the first time.
Why don't they do the sensical thing and can this turkey now and let somebody smart rebuild the franchise?

His job was also on the line in 2007
and he proceeded to oversee one of the best drafts in recent memory, taking five high school players with his first six picks, knowing that they wouldn’t make any sort of impact for at least 3 years. I’d say he deserves at least the benefit of the doubt.
I questions Sabean’s competence, but not his integrity.
Still the loving, adoptive father of Hector Sanchez. And who doesn't love switch-hitting catchers with power and patience?

The brass finally opened up some spots and the organization brought in some VPs of this and Directors of that and soon Mr John Barr arrived with his scouting expertise.

I'll believe that Sabean's job is on the line on the day he gets fired.

I’m not a Sabean fan or anything, but Suckbean? Really? There’s got to be more creative insulting names out there.

I have to admit that reading this title automatically makes me discount anything in the post.

I’ve spent far too many minutes trying to figure out how to pronounce “Suckbean.” “Suck-bean?” “Suck-bee-in” to rhyme with Sabean? “Sook-bee-in?”
No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball

i like it
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

I suspect Sabean recognizes it’s a power hitter he needs. Just sayin.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.

excellent point!
We should probably stop all of the typical functions of running a baseball team until we know who our General Manager will be for the next 10 years.

"Suckbean"...
…sounds like a name for a racing horse. So I didn’t read your post.
