Dana Brown was hired precisely because he was willing to be part of a decision making council rather have the type of agency that Luhnow and Click had. So, "his job," as you describe it (and what most of us expect) is in direct conflict with what the owner wants.
I don't understand why our guys don't hit the other way more. They are highly successful when they do it.
He was hired because he was buddies with Biggio and was part of the 2 organizations that drafted well while he was heavily involved in the draft process.
