Krivsky Joins O's

BALTIMORE -- Longtime front office executive Wayne Krivsky joined the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday as special assistant to the president of baseball operations.

Krivsky, a former vice president and general manger for the Cincinnati Reds, will work under club president Andy MacPhail. His responsibilities will include scouting, contracts and other baseball administration duties.

The 54-year-old Krivsky previously served for nearly 27 seasons as an assistant or special assistant to general managers with Texas, Minnesota and the Mets. He spent the 2008 season as special assistant to Mets GM Omar Minaya.

Cant see how this hurts

Wonder what Wayne thinks of Homer Bailey? Should have some good insight on a lot of the NL clubs.

Wonder if Wayne got fired for offering the Orioles Jay Bruce and Johny Cueto for Bedard, so Andy hired him instead…..just joshing a bit.

Didn't Krivsky just recently screw somebody real bad?

and a team was considering asking the league to take action against him???

Or was it the other way around with the Nats screwing him by sending him a hurt pitcher??

as long as he doesn't bring back corey

It’s all good.

And yeah, Bowden screwed Krivsky. Bowden is a scumbag. Krivsky is a guy who had rave reviews as a scout/player development guy who probably can’t cut it as a GM. It happens. I think its a good hire.

How does Jim Bowden still have a job?

A no-win situation for Krivsky perhaps. He put together Cinncinati’s nucleus, then Castellini and Jocketty knife him in the back Wirtz/Quenneville style (yeah, deal with that hockey reference), and if we ever get good, its because he got there too late that he won’t get the credit. Who knows, though? If in a couple of years, he’s interviewing for a GM job that must be good for us. But then again, I just heard somebody in the Detroit Lions front office is a hot GM candidate.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Bray I think

This was the Kearns Lopez trade. Krivsky was thought to be an idiot before he got screwed. Maybe he knew more about Kearns and Lopez then anyone else.

I guess we can figure Lopez wont sign in Baltimore.

Krivsky made some interesting moves. First getting Josh Hamilton (I actually think he had the Cubs select him in the Rule 5 and then traded for him-someone correct me if I am wrong on that), trading Hamilton for Volquez. Signing Francisco Cordero to a four year deal. I think he also got Brandon Phillips on waivers but that might be wrong in terms of timing. And of course the deal mentioned above.

It seemed like everytime he made a good move he countered with a questionable one.
