    He took the Brewers from one of the worst teams in baseball to at least pretty decent. He traded for CC in 2008 which was a steal and CC led the Brewers to a postseason birth. He traded for Greinke in 2011 and gave up pretty much no one. Greinke led the Brewers to the NLCS. He signed numerous players to very team-friendly extensions (Lucroy, Gomez, Braun) He had a couple poor FA signings (Jeff Suppan, Randy Wolf) but also signed Matt Garza to a pretty decent deal this past off-season.

    How is he in the bottom 5?
    Made playoffs twice in 11 seasons.

    That's how.

          plus, doesnt a GM get credit for having a top farm system? you guys seem to be looking at it through a narrow glass in terms of MLB, titles and so on.

            Everyone on that list I did has proven themselves for multiple years, with the exception of Huntington. He gets on my list for the slow build he's had to work with through the draft and some very good pickups on the FA market like Liriano and Grilli for next to nothing.

            I wanted to put Duquette on it instead, but I decided not to be a homer. Huntington is also working with about $30 million less in payroll, so he got the edge over Duquette.

              Dombrowski reading this thread every day before his morning workout for motivation.

              Dude might be the best GM of anything... Ever.
