Thank you, Ed.

Wait, so the song was wrong?

While I'd like the Phillies to be on the cutting edge of diversity, I'm concerned that she doesn't have any recent experience in a front office and MacPhail has been out of the game for a few years too.

In 2005, Ng was interviewed for the vacant position of Dodgers general manager. The Dodgers hired Ned Colletti as their GM, who immediately kept Ng on as his assistant. In 2008, she was interviewed for the general manager position with the Seattle Mariners, but the position went to Jack Zduriencik. In 2009, she interviewed for the San Diego Padres' General Manager position, which went to Jed Hoyer.In October 2011, she interviewed for the Los Angeles Angels general manager position but the Angels hired Jerry Dipoto. In July 2014, Ng interviewed for the Padres' GM position, and was one of four finalists for the position. The Padres hired A.J. Preller.

I get that she would be an exciting hire, if for no other reason than that it would demonstrate the Phils have finally realized it's the 21st century and have given up with the old boys method of running the team. But that seems to be her strongest qualification at this point (based on this thread anyway) and I'm not sure that's really a qualification.

Given the Phils specific situation, this is a critical hire. If an Amaro can do so much damage to a team that at the time of his hire looked like it was a possible dynasty, imagine what the wrong GM could do to a team that seems to me right now about as vulnerable as a newborn. There's a ton of potential that could easily be squandered, and if that happens, it may be a very very long time before the team gets back to this point.

To me, the most interesting thing about all this is how quiet the Phils have been regarding releasing any real info on this.
