I am a little disappointed in Geoff Baker for what to me seems like a melodramatic story. It had to be written but he could have composed it better IMO.
I am with you Doc on what this says about Z...very little. His results on the field are what count. We have already seen that he is not getting results yet, but Cano is a great get. People in the org would be much happier if the team was winning. Who cares if Z is a nice guy. It's one factor. Plenty of nice guy execs who are bad at their jobs too.
Blengino...his comments are VERY poor form. I can't take much of anything he says seriously, because the type of person who would air this type of dirty laundry in such an emotional way to the ST is the type of person whose perspective can't be trusted. But, his saying Z knows nothing about advanced stats is obviously exaggerated, but is still useful information and disconcerting.
I work in an F500 company. I have been around execs who are out of their depth / unqualified for their role, and they behave exactly like the anecdotes of LincStrong in this piece. So my reaction to the piece was, these guys just aren't qualified for their jobs. But without a real owner, the inmates run the Mariner asylum. So we can definitively file our leadership in the same class as Angelos or whoever. Let's just hope we can win in spite of that. The Orioles have been doing ok, and the Clippers under Sterling down here in LA have been doing ok. It's frustrating as a fan but not a death sentence. The M's are rich, and I'm still very excited to see how they spend the money.
