According to the latest column by soon-to-be-Hall-of-Famer Peter Gammons, Tampa Bay Devil Rays general manager Chuck LeMar recently celebrated ten years at the helm of the organization. Yes, LeMar took over three years before the Rays began play, and has since presided over seven straight losing seasons, going on eight this year. In LeMar's time at the helm, the Rays are 487-744- that's right, they're 257 games under .500.
If anyone has a convincing explanation of why LeMar still has a job, I'd love to hear it. He's the Elgin Baylor of baseball, and the Devil Rays are its Clippers.
