I did my best, from both memory, and what I found on mlb.com....

I'll try to change it.

I have a feeling Jack Z is gonna win this one.

I would say my top GM is Theo. Yes, the Red Sox have a high payroll to work with but he's won two WS's under his watch and they've developed their farm system extremely well. To the point where it's one of the top system's in the game.

Looking through there are a lot of new or relatively short-tenured GM's in the game. It'll be interesting to follow the careers of some of these guys and see how they pan out.

I went with Friedman because of the fact that he's lately done a good job with the Rays, turning them into a contender in arguably the most difficult division in all of baseball and with a payroll that can't be very high.

If Jack Z takes a team to the series, I'll put him in the same category as Friedman. But right now what Friedman did is #1

Theo is a great GM, but he makes some rather bizarre moves sometimes.

He takes risks. Sometimes they pan out, sometimes they don't. Overall, he's got 2 rings. I'll take those risks with the payoff.

agreed, I think Jack Z needs to last a couple more years before we make any decisions on him personally.

I think Jed Hoyer (used to work under Theo) should be interesting to watch especially.

And I think MacPhail will repeat his success in Baltimore.

Even if he does, he still probably won't get my vote as the Mariners for awhile have not been afraid to spend. They just don't spend wisely *cough*Richie Sexson*cough*. It takes a great mind to find a way to win on a shoestring budget.
