Mets Lose Draft Guy to Padres

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Chad McDonald was the guy behind the Mets risky-but-promising 2011 draft, now asst GM for the padres.

Alluded to in my wildy popular Raffy Perez thread.

Predicted replacement: Adam Rubin.

[Guest sharpie]

Prediction: The Mets will trade a prospect to the Padres who McDonald liked but nobody else does.

Joel Sherman Tommy Tanous, who did special assignment work for #Mets last yr, worked for JP RIcciardi in Tor, likely to replace MacDonald to run draft

Tommy Tanous sounds like a mob name.

[Edgy MD]

Tommy Tanous mentored by J.P. Ricciardi.

"I'll always remember asking J.P. where should I send my resume. And he said, 'Look, I've got 17 years in this business.... I'm your resume'."

And Tommy Tanous the new director of amateur scouting working under D3PO. (Really?)
