Fire Jim Bowden
Target:
Stan Kasten and the Lerner family
Sponsored by:
We, the fans of the Washington Nationals, have one goal: to see our team contend for and ultimately win a World Series championship. After careful consideration, we have concluded that we will not be able to achieve that goal until we replace General Manager Jim Bowden.
We have come to this conclusion based on the following:
1. No Jim Bowden team in his 16 years as a MLB GM has ever won, or even appeared in, a World Series, and just one Bowden team has ever made the playoffs at all.
2. Bowden is currently working on a streak of seven consecutive non-winning seasons.
3. A slight uptick in wins in 2007 notwithstanding, the Nationals have consistently gotten worse, not better, during Bowden's regime.
4. A chronically bad drafter, he's a terrible fit for a team that has identified drafting and development as the keys. Case in point: in 16 drafts and over 600 picks, only two Bowden-drafted pitchers ever have posted winning records in more than 20 career decisions--Scott Sullivan (40-28) and John Riedling (17-13).
5. MLB is loaded with talented young executives from Chris Antonetti to Kim Ng to our own Mike Rizzo who deserve a chance to improve on Bowden's record of failure.
Therefore, we urge you, Nationals President Stan Kasten and team owners the Lerner family, to fire Jim Bowden as general manager.

In 16 years as a Major League GM, Jim Bowden has proven incapable of building a winning major league franchise. We have come to this conclusion based on the following:
1. No Jim Bowden team has never won, or even appeared in, a World Series, and just one Bowden team has ever made the playoffs at all.
2. Bowden is currently working on a streak of seven consecutive non-winning seasons.
3. A slight uptick in wins in 2007 notwithstanding, the Nationals have consistently gotten worse, not better, during Bowden's regime.
4. A chronically bad drafter, he's a terrible fit for a team that has identified drafting and development as the keys. Indeed, only two Bowden-drafted pitchers ever have posted winning records in more than 20 career decisions--Scott Sullivan (40-28) and John Riedling (17-13).

I am fan of the Montreal Expos since 1976 and now my heart belongs to the Washington Nationals. I think Jim Bowden is probably one of the worst general manager of the history of baseball. The only thing he can do is to hire has-been or ever-injured players. Please, Jim give your chair to somebody who know how to play chess games.

Any GM who still feels the need to "Stick it" to his old team (Reds) for firing him because he made comments comparing players to 9/11 hijackers, betrayed player Jeff Shaw, lied to Ron Oester and is disrespected other GM's Kevin Towers, Wayne Krivsky, Walt Jocketty all said they would never make any deals with Bowden. NO ONE in MLB respects Jim Bowden and worse, he needs some psychiatric help.

Mr. Bowden, I believe you should be fired because you fail to look at the long term vision of the club. The team won 59 games this year. Instead of addressing needs, you add more outfielders. (I'm really looking forward to you trying to sign Adam Dunn by the way). And lastly you make terrible signings and trades (or lack there of), Dmitri Young, Rauch, Soriano (which was your biggest mistake of all time), Cordero, Ayala. You had a chance to save all of this, so do us a favor and trade Cristian Guzman and/or leave the office. Thanks.

I'm less concerned about Bowden's lack of success than his poor judgment and questionable character. His signing of the talented, but (volatile and disturbed) Elijah Dukes, and then asking the volatile and disturbed Dmitri Young to be his babysitter, shows that Bowden simply is not very smart. Bowden should be dealing with his own personal issues.

The fact that we spent a top ten pick on a player who we ended up not even signing is unacceptable. When you are 50-85, you may have to fork over the extra $500,000 for signing bonus. I can't believe Bowden couldn't even trade Felipe Lopez or Pual LoDuca (both whom he brought in), he had to release them.

Jim Bowden is the worst general manager in the league. The Nats have been around 3 years and we have gone backwards in terms of player development. No prospects to speak of, and only a couple players on the Major League roster who are capable of playing every day. This is just plain embarassing.

Sorry Jimbo, but we need some real talent to win, not someone else's trash. I agree the plan may work in the long run with money in the minor leagues. But without a team on the Major league level the Nats look like a AA team at best.

Wasting money on LoDuca, Estrada, Kearns, WMP, Nopez, not trading Cordero, Belliard and Young, when he had the chance -- and them signing them to foolish extensions, and now the completely botched Crow negotiations (on both sides)...he has done SOME good, but he has cost this organization at least a year in development. Time for him to go. Is there a bigger loudmouth in a front off, not named Steinbrenner?

I was born and raised in Washington, DC. Nothing brings me more joy than my hometown beating other cities in anything, but especially sports, and especially baseball. In the inaugural season I went to 20 games, we went 16-4 in that time. This was before the team was shaped by poor trades and retread signings characterized by Bowden's tenure. While I live in Hawaii, I still live, breathe and die by the goings on of the Nationals. They MUST improve from the poor effort we have seen this year. The only way I believe that can happen is under the guidance of Mike Rizzo, who built the Arizona team to its present stature. Please, fix my beloved Nationals, get rid of Jim Bowden.

Bowden's latest fiasco is bungling the signing of Aaron Crow. He is trying to con everyone again by blaming the other side, but the fact is he could have signed Crow for between what the 7 pick and 11 pick got. We lose the player over a lousy 700K, which is nothing in baseball. How can we get better when we are the only team that doesn't sign what everyone thinks will be a number 1 pitcher. He finally gets a draft choice right and doesn't sign him. Go figure how he still has a job. No wonder we are so bad. And don't forget Kasten is part of this losing team, which seems to be getting worse every year. He wants Elijah Dukes but not Aaron Crow. That should tell you a lot.

Jim Bowden is by and far the worst GM in MLB. He consistently trades players when they are underperforming and therefore does not get any value on the players coming to the Nationals. His FA signings are laughable (Loduca, Estrada, etc.) and his contracts are even worse (Kearns, Guzman, Lopez, etc.). I really don't mind rebuilding a team, but this guy does not have the foresight to get this job done. Please fire this bum

I have been a partial season ticket holder since MLB returned to Washington; I have followed and supported this team. I have paid very good money for very good seats to support this team and prove to the world that DC is, or at least can be, a good baseball town. If Bowden is retained, it will be a sign that the current ownership isn't as committed as I am and, thus, undeserving of my -- pardon the cliche -- hard-earned money. Instead of spending thousands on watching the Nats in person, I will buy a better television; watch anyone besides the Nats and take a trip with what's left over.
