Oscar Arguella was not much of a baseball player, and the talent he did have was wasted. He was given another chance by his then Manager, Al Luongo, to become a Scout and through hard work and introspection he worked his way up to General Managers position of the San Diego Padres, a team in which Luongo still Manages. (How long has he Luongo been with San Diego?)
If his backstory gets better and if the show lasts, this could be a sleeper for the Hall.
