Hollander promoted to GM

[Donn Beach]

It's relative, not just to past Mariner gms but baseball in general. Not many teams running 100% efficient. I have no idea how he stacks up generally.

And in terms of it being a promotion, it was more about getting a new contract. They could have let him walk, personally I don't mind going with the known quantity. What do you think, would you liked to have seen him replaced?

Here's a look at why Dipoto lost his payroll privileges- and why one would arbitrarily choose 2020. If you look too deep you just see history repeating itself.

2016
Aoki $5.5M

Valencia $5.5M

Overall these players combined for 6.2 WAR for a cost of $215 Million dollars, a cost of $34.67M/WAR


If you're wondering why they had to change course after Dipoto's first few years, look no further.

But, hey, let's get this man a promotion!

Awesome research and post brother. Definitely need to get the cost per WAR under infinity!
