    Re: Padres want Lackey?

    After he was offered a five-year deal by the Cubs, Hoyer told XX 1090 in November that he went to Moorad with a request to match the offer but was declined.

    According to a source, Moorad rebuffed Hoyer "because he was the GM of a last-place team." Hoyer declined to comment for this story.

    Is Moorad being serious? WTF did he expect his team to be in the standings after he ordered his GM to trade Adrian Gonzalez for minor league prospects?

    Most don't get a raise when they fail, regardless of the limitations they are strapped with it's still their job. Jed was hired to do a job, and (while I liked the direction he was heading) he didn't exactly succeed. Moorad also had Byrnes ready to plug in, so he wasn't exactly in a poor negotiating position needing to cater to Hoyer.

    It's easy to point to the end result and blame it on one guy when you don't actually look closely at the factors that led to it.

    Why wasn't Bud Black fired if all that matters is the end result?

    I don't entirely blame Layaway Moorad for not giving him a raise with another experienced GM behind him but that comment was pretty stupid.

    It's also an unnamed "source" which might be some stupid blogger for all anyone knows........grain of salt, and the bottom line is it makes sense whether you like Moorad or not

    And his job was to rebuild the team according to Moorad's five-year plan. It's not Hoyer's fault that suckers like you expected the team to be instantly better on paper () with fill-in stopgaps O-Dawg, Jason Bartlett, and Brad Hawpe offsetting the loss of Adrian Gonzalez.
