"Stressed management" Part of the Game

Bill Stoneman had a hard time talking to the press about his resignation. It was not really an exciting revelation, merely Bill Stoneman's way to describe the 24/7, energy-depleting nature of the general manager's job.
Nodding at his wife sitting in the front row at the news conference where he confirmed that he was resigning as the Angels' general manager, an emotional Bill Stoneman forced a smile and said Diane was unaware “when she married me that I would have a mistress.” The mistress that is the demanding responsibilities of a general manager in baseball's high-tech era of high finances, high expectations and increasingly higher and widening media pressures has produced a front-office turnover of the type generally associated with the field manager's position.

Fifteen of the thirty clubs have changed general managers or the person handling those duties since the end of the 2005 season, including eight in the last six weeks, the Angels of Anaheim being the latest. “I think most general managers are realistic,” Seattle GM Bill Bavasi said. “There is just very little margin for error now and very little patience in some markets to build a club the way it should be built.”

Furthermore, has the mistress lost some of her charm? “As the joy quotient diminished, the irritation quotient increased,” John Schuerholz said from Atlanta, where he recently accepted an invitation to become president of the Braves, ending 26 years as a big league general manager at 67.

The team of Braves won 14 consecutive division titles under John Schuerholz, but in moving upstairs, he said, he was influenced by the “increasing and intense scrutiny” that general managers face, the “exponential expansion” of people in baseball and out, media and otherwise, “who now measure and analyze what a general manager is doing” on a daily basis.

”I've always considered the general manager a lightning rod as well as the point man in explaining what the organization is doing,” said John Schuerholz, “but now the general manager is spending much more time explaining and, in some cases, defending his job, although I never felt I had to defend mine. I did it for 26 years and I honestly feel my ability became better in that time, but the challenges and responsibilities became more daunting and irritating, and I think that's why we're seeing [the turnover] we're seeing,” he added.

In addition, John Schuerholz was replaced by his top assistant, Frank Wren. A similarly weary Bill Stoneman, and now consultant to owner Arte Moreno, was succeeded by minor league director Tony Reagins. This recent toll on “guys of high caliber and capacity,” in Schuerholz's words, is proof positive of the general managers escalating responsibilities and irritation quotient, a toll that has included Terry Ryan, almost a yearly miracle worker in Minnesota, and the highly regarded Larry Beinfest in Florida.

Larry Beinfest seized a chance to become president of the team of Marlins, and assistant Michael Hill took over the general manager hot seat. Terry Ryan, who was replaced by assistant Bill Smith, simply bowed out as the general manager of the Twins, saying he was unhappy with the type of person he was becoming under the pressure.

Majority of the clubs use metrics and computers to differing degrees and most pursue a balance between these newer tools and their experienced scouts. The Angels of Anaheim, for example, have remained scouting-based while putting increased significance under older-school Bill Stoneman on the contributions of 29-year-old computer analyst Tory Hernandez, whom they promoted last week from player performance analyst to manager of baseball operations. “If our scouts are irreplaceable, Tory has been invaluable,” said Bill Stoneman. “Nothing will ever replace the human mind, but I don't know how we would operate without the computer.”

For the Angels of Anaheim, though changes in the team may affect their lives emotionally, the team will continue to work together for them to become champions of their league.
