    You Had Me at the Three-Ring Binder

    Jed Hoyer showed up for his first interview with the Padres ready to run the team:

    Into his first meeting with Padres CEO Jeff Moorad, Jed Hoyer carried a three-ring binder thick with statistics and analysis regarding the San Diego Padres.

    “I was very impressed,” Moorad said yesterday. “You couldn’t help but be impressed with his attention to detail and thoroughness.”

    That mid-September meeting in San Diego was the first hosted by Moorad in his search for the successor to Kevin Towers as the Padres’ general manager. It might as well have been his last.

    Each succeeding candidate was measured against the impression Hoyer made upon Moorad. None matched.

    It looks like the Padres front office will undergo more changes as they let Grady Fuson go. He was the head of scouting and development.
