Title: Alex Anthopoulos is the best GM in baseball
Post by: Twentytwofifty on January 24, 2011, 09:19:21 AM

That's right, I wouldn't want any one else running my favorite team. 

Under two years he has:

- Took the bottom 5 farm system and shot it up to the top 5...also loading up with picks, something like 7 of the first 80 for this year's (supposedly very deep) draft.
- Traded for a potential ace in Brandon Morrow giving up spare parts really.
- Traded Gonzalez for a cheaper, younger and better Escobar. 
- And of course, pulled the unthinkable of unloading Wells.  Quite the magic act this one was.  Everyone thought he was untradable and the universal reviews on this trade is the Angels got raped. 

I'm loving the future of this club, things are looking bright for 2012 and beyond.

I could care less about 2011, AA is building this team for the long term. 
Especially with the expected extra wild card team being added to the playoffs I expect post season play for the Jays in the future.
