Given the importance of the hire, ownership and upper management have the right to explore in a number of directions in an in-depth manner. Chief among their interests are the short- and long-term plans for the club at the major league level, with particular emphasis on the former.Yes, the long-term outlook is important, but Id surmise that the short-term plan elicits more focus from those making the hiring choice. Owners want to win, fill seats and improve their profit margins from television/radio rights fees, advertising and the like today -- not tomorrow. If a teams plight is anything other than an obvious teardown and rebuild, a candidate would be wise to have a plan to contend right away.When Jerry Dipoto was hiired by the Mariners, the rebuild vs.dddddddddddd. compete dilemma was a tough one. The team had been built to win in the 2013-15 window, but it didnt qualify for a wild-card game. The payroll was top-heavy, with $65 million invested in three slightly past-their-prime players in Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Felix Hernandez, and the minor league system was weak, with subpar depth and a sprinkling of high-end talent such as Edwin Diaz, Tyler ONeill and Luiz Gohara. The team also, amazingly, had absolutely no one capable of playing center field on the 40-man roster. No one would have blamed the new GM for recommending a rebuild, but Dipoto attempted to find a narrow path to a better place. ' ' '
