Derek Hall and the D-backs front office look to continue their tradition of misguided and downright idiotic Front Office hires.
Word is Dave Stewart, who I love (when he was a player), is the lead candidate. After hiring AJ Hinch based on pure friendship, you'd think they'd have learned. Stewart had a brief (unsuccessful) stint as an assistant GM in Toronto and has since been an agent. So they want to begin a massive rebuild by transitioning an agent to a Front Office position like GM????
While he probably interviews well, again, AZ should have one requirement for their GM:
1. A past history of undeniable SUCCESS as a GM or very closely-related position.
That's it. Seems common sense, right? Esp when you have a recent history of stupid hires by ignoring that rule.
