Bill Geivett

William Paige Geivett (born July 25, 1963) is an American professional baseball player and executive.

Career Geivett attended Sacramento City College and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Playing college baseball for the UCSB Gauchos, Geivett was named an All-American. In October 2002, he was named the club's director of minor league operations. He was promoted to assistant general manager in 2005.

In 2012, Rockies owner Dick Monfort restructured the team's front office, making Geivett essentially their "director of major league operations", breaking with baseball tradition by attempting to phase out the traditional model of a baseball front office. He also undertook many of the roles of the field manager, as he oversees the team on a day-to-day basis from an office in the team clubhouse. Geivett and O'Dowd resigned on October 8, 2014; they were succeeded by Jeff Bridich.
