Between Myers, Baalke, Beane, and Sabean, the local teams are benefiting from some of the best GMs in the Big 3 sports...obviously jury still out for a year or two on McKenzie.
I wouldnt put Sabean in the class of the others but he does have the 2 rings to fall back on.
lol Brian Sabean is the worst GM with two championship rings ever.
Yeah okay...he might not be in your Top 10 but you simply just do not bumble your way into two WS titles in a 3-yr period. He picked up Kontos and Mijares to help the b/p mid-2012, got Pence to replace Melky, and oh yeah, also got Scutaro off the scrap heap like he did with Ross in 2010. Now, you could argue the deals he ended up giving to Scutaro, Lincecum, and perhaps even Pence were "excessive", but simply ridiculous to scoff and what he has accomplished.
I didn't scoff at his accomplishments. I just said that among the exclusive class of general managers with 2 or more rings, you can easily argue that Brian Sabean is the worst.
That is not to say that Brian Sabean is dreadful. He is an average to above-average general manager. But he's made a ton of questionable and mediocre decisions.
No one in their right mind would consider Sabean a better general manager than Billy Beane. That's just as insane as considering Eli Manning better QB than Dan Marino.
