Brian Sabean is Baseball America's Executive of the Year
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know

It seems like whatever this guy touches turns to gold. Very well deserved.

Off the scrap heap that's true. Not so much bigger items.

Brain Sabean winning exec of the year reinforces my belief that the majority of intelligent baseball fans could be groomed into successful GM's if given the opportunity.

He did well this year. I haven't been a fan of him though. Originally Posted by Nymfan87

Were not gonna improve this off season because he believes we are good enough to win again as is. He can't be questioned now that he won this award.

I tell people that one day you can be the biggest hero in baseball, and the next day, youre fired.........
I remember how often the Giants got handed the bag at some of the deals he traded and signed.....Trading away Joe Nathan, signing Barry Zito are just two of the examples.....I thought he was one of the worst GMs in baseball. Now look at him....I never thought this guy would EVER build a world series team and he did it before the Toronto Blue Jays

Blanco, Arias, Pagan, Melky, and Vogelsong are all very good reasons why Sabean deserves this award. I have been brutally hard on him in the past but he is a very good GM.

I don't like Sabean. He makes too many stupid moves to actually be considered a good GM.
But he has, overall, done well enough.
I don't know that the 2 rings is necessarily indicative of his baseball acumen though.
