Combined Career As AGM and GM
Colletti has been a top front office executive—either an Assistant General Manager or General Manager—continuously since 1997 with two clubs, the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. Only seven other current GMs have served continuously, either as an AGM or a GM, from 1997-2012. Of the eight current GMs who have served continuously for the past 16 seasons as Assistant General Manager or General Manager, only Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees has a higher winning percentage.
Three other current GMs have come close to serving continuously in senior team-building positions. Doug Melvin missed out in 2002 when he served as a special consultant for the Boston Red Sox between stints as the GM of the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers. Terry Ryan of the Minnesota Twins stepped down as GM after the 2007 to become a senior advisor and resumed his GM duties in 2011. And Kevin Towers spent the 2010 season as a special assistant to Cashman in New York between reigns as GM in San Diego and Arizona.

Famous quotes containing the words combined and/or career:
“A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
