Seriously. The folks at PG have gone crazy. I understand you've got the new website and all, but this picture of Bob Nutting's gigantic cranium is too much for us to handle. Please tone it down.
Anyway...if anybody still thought that Bob Nutting knows what he's doing...today we read this...
"What I've really tried to do," Nutting said, "is focus on the process itself to make sure that I had a chance to understand alternative structures -- what's been effective for other teams and what kinds of options are there as well as getting a good assessment of who candidates are, who's inside baseball, what other skill-sets might be most helpful and most important."
Um....Ya. Like someone who has any clue on how to run a baseball team. Thanks for you insight though, Bob. Any more nuggets?
"It is a critically important hire," Nutting said as the Pirates careen toward a 15th consecutive losing season. "It's one I really believe we need to get right. Not only do we have to have somebody who understands the situation in Pittsburgh -- understand what the team needs -- but I also have to have confidence that they have sufficient vision and capability to be able to step in and really have an impact where we need to see improvement and change.
Thank you Great Swammi. "Someone who really understands the situation in Pittsburgh". Oh no! However are we going to explain the situation to someone? Oh right....we suck.
"I think what I've learned and decided is, we want to have a single person who will be an overall team president with full responsibility for the club. My sense is that [with] our business-side operations we have a very solid group of executives running those operations right now. I have an awful lot of faith in them. They've done a fantastic job this year.
Translation: We need someone to shift the blame to when we don't know what we're doing.
This guy is a total tool.
15 years and counting...
