GMs though will never tell you what they're truly thinking. Here are the hidden thoughts of the baseball GMs.
Kevin Towers, Arizona: "San Diego. Tell me how my ass tastes?"
Frank Wren, Atlanta: "Will these stupid reporters stop asking about the 2011 season. That year never happened in the Wren household."
Dan Duquette, Baltimore: "If Cal Ripken still played with the Orioles, I would run him out of town like I did to Roger Clemens in Boston."
Ben Cherington, Boston: "Wendi Nix left me. I basically have no power as the GM. The ownership group cut off my balls during my introductory press conference. I have two pitchers who enjoy fried chicken and beer but can't get rid of them because of their contracts. Other than that I'm fine."
Jed Hoyer, Chicago Cubs: "I can't believe I left beautiful San Diego to be the general manager of a team that I have no power with. Shit I think Theo is even reading my thoughts. Nothing to see here."
Kenny Williams, Chicago White Sox: "I've never heard of Kyle Williams. Why are you claiming some receiver who blew the 49ers Super Bowl spot is my son?"
Walt Jocketty, Cincinnati: "I traded for Matt Latos as a lab experiment. I want to see how long he can go with Dusty before he has elbow problems."
Chris Antonetti, Cleveland: "I actually did know Fausto Carmona's real name and age but was sworn to secrecy when he told me the truth."
Dan O'Dowd, Colorado: "To help our pitchers in Coors Field, we'll be throwing rocks instead of baseballs during the season."
Dave Dombrowski, Detroit: "I signed Prince Fielder with a box of donuts and extended Leyland with a carton of Marlboro Reds."
Jeff Luhnow, Houston: "Wait. I thought I was taking the Texas Rangers job? What the hell am I doing in Houston?"
Dayton Moore, Kansas City: "I swear my 25-year plan for turning around the Royals is working."
Jerry Dipoto, LA Angels of Orange County: "This Albert Pujols contract is going to be disastrous and I know I'm going to be the one blamed for it when we're in year 5 of the deal."
Ned Colletti, Los Angeles: "Can I finally stop asking Frank McCourt for a couple of dollars to buy new pencils?"
Michael Hill,
Doug Melvin, Milwaukee: "Prince Fielder, gone. Ryan Braun, suspended. Zach Greinke, cranky jerk who probably wants to leave. This is going to be a long season."
Terry Ryan, Minnesota: "Our star catcher and first baseman are falling apart. Other than that we should be fine."
Sandy Alderson, New York Mets: "My hidden thoughts can be found at @MetsGM."
Brian Cashman, New York Yankees: "Don't tell anyone, but Derek Jeter is really bad in the bedroom."
Billy Beane, Oakland: "I work for one of the richest men in the United States but this motherfucker nickles and dimes me on everything. And trust me a move to San Jose isn't going to change that."
Ruben Amaro, Jr., Philadelphia: "I'm confused. Phillies fans keep telling me we're 4-time defending World Series champions."
Neal Huntington, Pittsburgh: "This AJ Burnett trade is going to blow up in my face, isn't it?"
Josh Byrnes, San Diego: "I was told Adrian Gonzalez would be here when I took this job. What the hell?"
Brian Sabean, San Francisco: "Giants fans are going to shit when I trade Brandon Belt in July for a left-handed reliever."
Jack Zduriencik, Seattle: "I get paid in old Donkey Kong video games."
John Mozeliak, St. Louis: "I'm put my name in the witness protection program just in case this team stinks by July and fans are at my house rioting over the fact I didn't re-sign Albert Pujols."
Andrew Friedman, Tampa: "According to stats nerds I can poop rainbows and pee unicorns. All of which is true."
Jon Daniels, Texas: "Yes. Nolan Ryan constantly gives me the death stare."
Alex Anthopoulos, Toronto: "It's wonderful being in the same division as the Red Sox and Yankees. I use them as an excuse when my team is in fourth place and it works!"
Mike Rizzo, Washington: "Yes. Bryce Harper is a big of asshole as advertised."
Ruben Amaro, Jr.: Jonathan Papelbon on a big contract fills the ever important need of "Player Who Pitches 70 Innings" per year.
