I think he is dumber than a monkey. You can't prove he is a good GM and I can't prove he isn't. It is all opinions, OBVIOUSLY. I base my opinion on the fact that he does less with more, consistently. He was handed a solid team with a great farm system and even he couldn't screw that up...at first. But he eventually did. Period my . The only stupid thing stated here was that another's person's opinion is stupid. What, you can't handle someone seeing things differently than you do? Do you think the offense, particularly against decent to good pitchers, is comensurate with the money spent on position players? I don't. Do you think the pitching has a number of dominate, lights out, pitchers commensurate with the money spent on the staff? I don't. At what point do people stop blaming the players and start blaming the guy that signed them all? Sure, one or two bad moves will happen. But how many players that he acquired or kept have played up to expectations or their salaries and how many players that he passed on or traded away have had great seasons since? People whine about the payroll of the Yankees for a reason. It is absurd. And, still, I don't see a team that is crushing other teams like their payroll is crushing that of other teams. THAT is the bottom line. Period.
