Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The Diamondbacks hope to have a permanent general manager in place by the end of the regular season, and the Arizona Republic reports two candidates have emerged as front-runners for the job. Interim GM Jerry Dipoto and former Padres GM Kevin Towers are atop the heap of candidates, with Dodgers scouting director Logan White lingering as a dark horse candidate, according to the Republic.
The two leading contenders offer quite a contras in resumes. Dipoto, the former major league pitcher, doesn't have nearly the front office experience Towers does, but he knows the personnel and the perception is he has done well since stepping in for the fired Josh Byrnes.
Towers, meanwhile, was one of the longest-tenured general managers in the game as he spent 14 years running the Padres' front office. He knows the job and is well-regarded around the industry, which should make him a candidate for any GM job that opens up.
White is credited with building up the supply of young talent in the Dodgers' organization over the better part of the last decade. He has a long track record of success as a scout, but that's the extent of his experience in a front office setting.
