		There is this picture people have of Pat Gillick: He is behind a desk, phone pinned between his ear and shoulder, thumbing through stacks of scouting reports with one hand, a piece of the waiver wire in the other, and, at the same time, communicating somehow with his assistant G.M. sitting in front of him.
		Gillick was a lefthanded starter with a big overhand curve and a killer pickoff move, but he had a mediocre, mid-80s fastball.

		All Pat Gillick knew was that the poor creature was holding up traffic on one of those godforsaken two-lane roads in central Florida, and somebody had to do something.
		So Gillick, general manager of the Blue Jays, one of the most powerful and successful sports executives in recent memory, got out of his rental car, walked past several equally perplexed motorists to the source of trouble, picked up the turtle and, dodging traffic from the opposite lane, carried it to safety.

		Second, and possibly more troubling, is the nod from Mariners fans which claims: "The game has passed Pat Gillick by." At 68, he sure is bucking the trend is recent GM hires across the league. But at the same time he would make the ideal mentor to Ruben Amaro, Jr.
		Apparently David Montgomery is not concerned about Gillick's age nor his approach. Monty acknowledged that the youth movement has played into his thinking, but said it's a matter of combining the "Moneyball" ideals with old-school philosophy.

	Gillick
		For a few years, they were often known as the “Blew Jays” and their GM as “Stand Pat”, as the team parlayed division titles into playoff losses, and became known as a conservative outfit who didn’t make a lot of deals down the stretch.
		Gillick, being the good soldier he was, took his case to the press, letting them know what had happened.
		Pat Gillick is an arrogant man. He’s coasted on some accomplishments of note, while managing to gloss over years of insubordination, back-stabbing, and making one look good at the expense of others.
