Could you be a GM for a major league baseball team?

The players get the glory. The manager gets the screen time and the radio show. The owner gets the profits. But, in major league baseball, the GM (that's general manager, for you baseball neophytes) puts the roster together, negotiates the contracts, hires the staff, and really runs the show.
