Hardball Retrospective – General Manager Scorecard
September 30, 2015 by Derek Bain · Leave a Comment
The following article represents the first of a three-part series focusing on the cumulative and average outcomes sustained by players drafted, signed or acquired via trades by every General Manager in Major League Baseball since 1950. My initial review of General Managers will be constrained to players selected in the Amateur Draft (and subsequently signed to their first MLB contract) along with individuals signed as amateur free agents. The second piece will concentrate on players exchanged in trades while the third will address free agent acquisitions.
In “Hardball Retrospective: Evaluating Scouting and Development Outcomes for the Modern-Era Franchises”, I placed every ballplayer in the modern era (from 1901-present) on their original team. Therefore, Ty Cobb is listed on the Tigers roster for the duration of his career while the Mets declare Tom Seaver and the Pirates claim Barry Bonds. I calculated revised standings for every season based entirely on the performance of each team’s “original” players. I discuss every team’s “original” players and seasons at length along with organizational performance with respect to the Amateur Draft (or First-Year Player Draft), amateur free agent signings and other methods of player acquisition. Season standings, WAR and Win Shares totals for the “original” teams are compared against the “actual” team results to assess each franchise’s scouting, development and general management skills.
The General Manager Scorecard results from further research exploring the databases that I utilized while writing “Hardball Retrospective”. My findings include the career Win Shares and Wins Above Replacement totals for all players signed to their first Major League Baseball contract by every General Manager from 1950 through the 2013 season. I will provide outcomes calculated by the plate appearance (PA) and batters facing pitcher (BFP) totals. I have restricted the conclusions to the 1950-2013 timeframe in an effort to correspond with the entries in the Baseball America Executive Database . Furthermore, I have omitted all transactions except for the player’s initial MLB contract; the General Managers are not evaluated on trades, players drafted but not signed, etc.

The General Manager Scorecard
1) Bill Wood WS/10K_PA_BFP: 241.48 WAR/10K_PA_BFP: 31.88
Houston prospered greatly during Bill Wood’s tenure with the ballclub. Wood restocked the farm system through the amateur draft, scoring hits with Luis E. Gonzalez and Kenny Lofton (1988), Todd Jones and Shane Reynolds (1989), Phil Nevin (1992) and Billy Wagner (1993). Amateur free agents such as Bobby Abreu (1990), Richard Hidalgo and Melvin Mora (1991) along with Carlos Guillen (1992) augmented the Astros’ offense. While Wood was replaced by Bob Watson in October 1993, the organization reaped the benefits of his acumen as the ballclub made 12 successive playoff appearances from 1997-2008. The “Original” Astros topped the National League OWAR leader board seven times while clinching the OWS title on six occasions in this stretch.
T2) Bobby Cox WS/10K_PA_BFP: 225.93 WAR/10K_PA_BFP: 26.03

Cox acquired Javy Lopez as amateur free agent in 1987 and purchased Vinny Castilla from Saltillo of the Mexican League in March of 1990. First-rounder Chipper Jones was the prize of Cox’s amateur draft selections in June, 1990. Other notable draftees under Cox include Kent Mercker (1986), Mike W. Stanton (1987), Steve Avery (1988) and Ryan Klesko (1990). Subsequently the “Original” Braves gained entry to the National League playoffs in 11 of the next 16 seasons.
T2) Hank Peters WS/10K_PA_BFP: 217.15 WAR/10K_PA_BFP: 26.33

One decade later, Peters commence a twelve-year stint at the helm of the Orioles’ front office. He selected the “Iron Man” Cal Ripken Jr. and Mike Boddicker in the ’78 draft along with Steve Finley and David Segui in ’87. Highlights from 4 seasons with the Tribe include the acquisitions of Brian S. Giles and Jim Thome (1989) in conjunction with the first-round (13 th overall) pick in the 1991 draft – Manny Ramirez. Bando, Monday and Tenace supplied significant contributions to the five consecutive playoff appearances for Oakland in the mid-1970’s. Ripken lifted the “Original” O’s to three successive pennants (1982-84) while the Indians played in eight postseasons out of eleven (1995-2005).

Drew, Dan Haren and Yadier Molina. Jocketty signed Reds’ flamethrower Aroldis Chapman as an amateur free agent in 2010. The “Original” Cardinals achieved seven playoff berths in a thirteen-year span (2001-2013).

Chub Feeney directed the Giants’ front office for 24 years. Focusing on his outcomes from 1950 through 1968, Feeney outshines the competition. Feeney signed the crown jewel of his administration, Willie Mays, in 1950. The “Say Hey Kid” accumulated 639 Win Shares and 136 WAR, earned All-Star appearances in 20 successive seasons and blasted 660 round-trippers while setting the standard of defensive excellence in center field. He acquired future Hall of Famers Orlando Cepeda (1955), Willie McCovey (1955), Juan Marichal (1957) and Gaylord Perry (1958) as amateur free agents. Other distinguished ballplayers procured by Feeney include Felipe Alou, Bobby Bonds, Jose Cardenal and Bill White along with amateur draftees George Foster and Garry Maddox. The “Original” Giants reeled off seven consecutive pennants from 1962-68.

Dick Wagner earned high marks for his draft selections for the Reds (1978-1983) and the Astros (1986-87). Craig Biggio (1987) accrued 426 Win Shares and 54 WAR to top the list of Wagner’s draftees. Cincinnati improved significantly with a trio of outfielders selected in the early Eighties (Eric Davis, Paul O’Neill, Danny Tartabull) along with moundsmen Charlie Leibrandt and Jeff Montgomery. This quintet led the “Original” Reds to four pennants and two division titles from 1987 through 1995.
8) Gabe Paul WS/10K_PA_BFP: 214.78 WAR/10K_PA_BFP: 23.39

Eight ballplayers acquired by Paul recorded at least 300 Win Shares or 40 Wins Above Replacement during their careers including Pete Rose, Frank Robinson, Tony Perez, Vada Pinson, Buddy Bell, Dennis Eckersley, Tommy John and Luis Tiant. His GM scorecard is reinforced by the procurement of Tommie Agee, Leo Cardenas, Mike Cuellar, Curt Flood, Jim Maloney, Willie McGee, Claude Osteen and Cesar Tovar. The “Original” Reds notched six seasons atop the Senior Circuit leader boards in OWAR during the Sixties and collected two pennants with four division titles in an eight-year stretch covering 1969-1976.

“Trader” Jack McKeon asserts Hall of Famers Tony Gwynn and Roberto Alomar among his esteemed acquisitions. Both players topped the 350 Win Share mark and 50 WAR in their respective careers. McKeon held the Padres’ GM post throughout the Eighties and shared an affinity for talent procurement via amateur free agency (Alomar, Carlos Baerga, Benito Santiago, Jose Valentin) and the draft pool (Gwynn, Andy Benes, John Kruk and Kevin McReynolds). San Diego paced the National League in OWS three times in five seasons from 1988-1992 and made the playoffs in three successive campaigns (1994-96).
T10) Dick O’Connell WS/10K_PA_BFP: 213.41 WAR/10K_PA_BFP: 22.99
