Just heard that The Orioles today named Jim Beattie as executive vice president of baseball operations and Mike Flanagan as vice president of baseball operations. I guess they are to share the duties of baseball operations.

Does that mean Schueler isn't getting hired as the general manager and that they will just handle the duties?

 

Kind of like what the Bears did for so long when they had Hatley, the VP of PLayer Personell or whatever the position was, instead of calling him a gm?

 

I know the papers were all reporting Ron, but the longer and longer its been without an announcement had me wondering.

That's correct. Schu is out, those two guys are in.

And still no talks whatsoever in LA of Frank Thomas. I haven't heard the name mentioned once, other then by me.
