I found this at MLB.com and it was pretty interesting how some people are dead stupid and it was really funny. Like some guy wrote: "Sign Tim Lincecum and Johan Santana" and "ARod also been the best player on the team pretty much every year except maybe 06 when Jeter went out of his mind and really deserved the MVP." Its really funny.

I'll start. As GM of the Yankees I would, trade away Cano and a few other prospect for the defense of Hudson.

Giants: I would trade out one of our pitching prospects (preferably Alderson over Bumgarner) for a big bat in the infield.
Also, Zito isn't THAT bad.

Rays: Trade Carlos Pena for another younger lefty power guy with upside, maybe a prospect or two.
In addition, a backup outfielder would be nice, as well as scouting more in Asia (Just Iwamura? Pssh...)

Pirates: I would play Mr. Goldman and fire everyone so we could free up our salary for 2010. And FIRE everyone with an injury. :lol:

kidding on that last part.

I would have signed Adam Dunn over Raul Ibanez, but the Phillies GM office was just too stupid I guess. Dunn is 20x better and he got less money.

If I can't go back in time though... I would trade Jamie Moyer for whatever I could get.

And I would hire a personal assassin to assassinate Francisco Rodriguez and JJ Putz and Johan Santana. :lol:

j/k

If I were from the Phils, I would have gotten Dunn over Ibanez no questions asked.
Dunn is so underrated, wish we could find a spot for him on the Giants.
Maybe we could transfer Ishikawa to another position, so Dunn could play 1st. Though I would love to see him use his arm at third...1

Yeah. Dunn is 29. Ibanez is 37. And Ibanez got a 3yr, $31.5 million deal. Dunn? He got a 2yr, $20 million deal. WTF?! Their fielding is arguably equal. They are both left-handed. The only thing Ibanez has on him is personality, and Dunn is hardly a Manny.

I would give up the job to someone who knows what he's doing.

Try not to outbid myself.

I would have two Managers for the braves, bobby cox for the regular season and bring in a playoff manager. I'd build up our farm club. Bring in some youngsters, maybe import some cheap international players. Build an international fan base, may bring in some extra money and interest. Make the D the number one and focus on technique opposite of power hitting.
