Baseball Prospectus has been running a long series of guest columns -- shoot, there have been rumors that even I might write one for them -- and the latest is an excellent piece by McCovey Chronicles’ Grant Brisbee. His big finish:
On A Holistic Approach To General Managers
↵↵Last season was a lesson that it’s possible to make far too much of a GM’s faults. His completely obvious faults. His painful, unspeakable, and well-known faults. It happens. One of Bill James’ famous quips was that bad teams tend to focus on what players can’t do rather than what they can. Maybe fans aren’t all that different.

Grant's writing about Brian Sabean, of course. And I think his general point is probably a good one. Particularly with the Giants looking like odds-on favorites to win another division title this year.
