Boivin: Valley's young GMs turning heads

Theo Epstein might have started the youth movement, but Valley sports teams are driving the bus, hopefully without a detour to Chuck E. Cheese.

The Diamondbacks' addition of Mike Hazen makes the average age of the Valley's four general managers 36. That’s the youngest mean among the 13 cities with four major professional sports teams, helped by the Coyotes’ addition of Jon Chayka, who turned 27 a month after his May hiring.

Twenty-seven. That’s only five years older than fellow Canadian Justin Bieber.

What in the name of puberty is going on here?
