Opportunity or skill? There is no doubt a lot of the success Ross has had came immediately after taking over a couple storied franchises.  With that stated, there is credit to putting it all together.  His latest rebuild is all his and his team is putting it all together, including a world series appearance.  Can definitely put the tank word into effect with 7 100 loss seasons, tied for third most on the list.  It's going to be interesting to see just how far this current build goes.


7. GeauxBlue




GM Score: 124

2491-2047 (.549)
2 World Series Titles
4 League Championships
6 Division Titles
9 Wildcards
23 Winning Seasons
5 Losing Seasons
5 100 Win Seasons
1 100 Loss Seasons

The number is 5 losing seasons in 28 seasons of competing.  There is only one GM on this list who can tout something more impressive.  GB is an absolute testament to wanting to win all the time.  He wants to do it, and he does it.  No rebuilding here.  He was snake bitten going to several series before finally breaking through with a couple titles in Detroit in this run.  Went to Pittsburgh during the whole Pitt transition phase, but didn't stay long enough to get the status quo build done.  Now back in San Diego, as long as we can keep his interest, it's certain they'll be dominating the West before long.  GB's average is third best in the league, it's very likely if he didn't leave Detroit he'd be top 3 on this list.

Stang is the Rodney Dangerfield of my mind.  Before this exercise I just never gave the guy the respect he deserves.  That run in the middle of this range is truly amazing.  7 Division titles, plus a wildcard in 8 straight seasons.  A world series win and 4 trips there in 5 years was quite a feat.  He definitely is in that crowd of tearing it all down to the studs when he's done, but he really does get a lot out of the pieces he deals away as well.  Doing this exercise increased my appreciation for what Stang has done, especially with me considering this division very difficult.
