For whatever reason -- or in some cases, lack of viable reason -- various Bauxites have clamored for the head of the GM over the past several months. Well, finally, it's happened ... the Jays released the only GM on the active roster, and you all are invited pay your respects to Crash as we ponder the immutable baseball question hinted at in the immortal All-Steinbrenner Yankees sketch when the Boss hosted Saturday Night Live.
What would a team entirely made up of GMs look like, anyway? Well, it's certainly stuffed with Gregs and Georges ...

A number of otherwise qualified players, mostly pitchers, didn't make the cut, including several 20-game winners and the wonderfully-nicknamed George "Doc" Medich. But surely this team can be better ... go ahead, Bauxites, play "Assistant to the GM Team."
