In the shout box.
However, one devil's advocate thought did come to mind... No Doubt Tony LaRussa was a brilliant Baseball Manager... However wouldn't assuming a great manager can also make a great high level executive be the exact some fallacy in logic that led Nintendo to think a great software/hardware business executive/lawyer, would also make a great baseball executive???
IOW, Howard Lincoln was a GREAT executive when he was leading Nintendo against Sega and Sony.... Sure didn't make him a great baseball exec. Same applies to LaRussa... Picking a PH or making a bullpen decision late in a playoff game, or choosing a 25 man roster out of ST??? No doubt LaRussa would be an excellent choice to maker those decisions.... but why would that make him a great baseball exec???
Of course no getting around the fact that of any and all applicants LaRussa would certainly have the most credibility and Cache both inside baseball and with the fans...
