Whether he goes or stays, people will be say five years from now what a good/bad hire the next president of the Jays was. 2. Greg Hamilton , director of national teams, junior coach, Baseball Canada (1A). No ones makes as many decisions and runs through as many mine fields as he does. This year. for example. he put together four distinct rosters: The pre-Olympic tourney in March at Taiwan; the Canadian junior team, which lost in the quarters at Edmonton in August; the Olympic team in Bejing and the 2009 junior team which headed to Florida in October. He has been negotiating with MLB teams for the World Baseball Classic, to be played at the Rogers Centre in March.

  • Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2
    Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2 • The first wave of free agents entered the marketplace on Oct. 1 as 43 players elected free agency, the majority of them under Article XX(D) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. It reads in part: “Any player who has at least three years of major league service, or who qualified as a “Super Two” player . and whose contract is assigned outright to a minor league club may elect, in lieu of accepting such assignment, to become a free agent. In the event that such a player with at least three years of major league service does not elect free agency in lieu of accepting such assignment, he may elect free agency between the end of the then current major league season and the next following Oct. 15, unless such player is returned to a major league roster prior to making such election.” • The recalls in this installment are paperwork moves owing to the fact that, with the minor league season and playoffs concluded, players can no longer be sent on optional assignments. According to MLR 11(b)4 “A Major League Club may recall a player not to report after the conclusion of the championship season of the Minor League Club to which the player is on optional assignment but no later than October 1” Arizona Diamondbacks Signed: RHP Seth Lintz (Laredo (American Association)), RHP Dustin Loggins (Kansas City (American Association)), RHP Jacob Roberts (Bridgeport (Atlantic)), LHP Sean Mahley (Schaumburg (Frontier)), OF Dan Bowman (Lake Erie (Frontier)), OF Steve McQuail (Schaumburg (Frontier)) Elected free agency:

  • Acknowledgements
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Anne Preston for her continued support and guidance not only on this thesis but also in her classes. I would also like to thank the Economics Department of Haverford College for its support over the past four years. Additionally, I would like to thank my fellow classmates for their assistance and help both on this project and throughout our experience together at Haverford. 1 Abstract This is an investigation into and analysis of Major League Baseball General Managers from 1995-2005. Its aim is to evaluate General Managers based on the performance of the teams they create. It is also meant to put General Managers under the public microscope, a place which has previously been reserved for players, managers, and owners. The hypotheses include that there is a strong positive correlation between dollars spent per team win and the likelihood of being fired. Probit regression analysis demonstrated that many variables have significant effects on the probability of a General Manager being fired. This thesis concludes that team increases in team wins and making the playoffs all decrease the likelihood of firings. It also concludes that increases in dollars spent per team, GM Tenure, and GM Experience increase the likelihood of a General Manager being fired. 2 Table of Contents I. Introduction 4 II.
