WASHINGTON (AP)—The Washington Nationals have hired former Chicago White Sox general manager Ron Schueler as special adviser to GM Mike Rizzo and promoted Bill Singer to director of professional scouting.

Schueler worked for the San Francisco Giants the past two seasons. He was GM of the White Sox from 1990-2000.

Singer’s new duties include overseeing Washington’s major league, minor league and winter league scouting efforts. He was fired from his job as a special assistant to the general manager by the New York Mets in 2003 after making racially insensitive remarks to an executive from another team.

Singer joined the Nationals as a special assignment scout in 2006 after three years as a major league scout with the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he worked under Rizzo.

    I guess things like, loyalty, character and personal resposibilty are all things of a by gone era in professional sports management. No wonder everytime you pick up the paper MLB has another black eye. Shocking.

    I think Singer could really make a difference (though I don´t recall what those remarks were)

    @eb9362: And his personal financial issues has what to do with his professional responsibilites? Other than knowing to hang up my phone if he calls me looking for money, I don't see how this information is important.

    Ron Schueler has got to be one of the biggest dead beats in MLB. He borrows money off everyone he knows, skips from team to team leaving a trail of worthless IOU's in his wake. Hell, Jerry Reinsdorf still holds a mortgage on his home. He's filed for bancruptcy, has a federal tax lein against his home and yet still relies on his old pals to pay his way. Why would you want the "bernie madoff" of baseball in your orginization?????
