a little early to make that judgment. Lets see, he brought in the mentally ill Milton Bradley,
Sometimes you have to take a chance... the guy is a capable hitter...
traded young players for a rent a pitcher who obviously doesn't want to be here,
What makes you think Lee doesn't want to be here? And regardless of whether he does or not, bringing him into the rotation gave the M's the best 1-2 in baseball. And all those young players he traded away?? Bavasi's trash...
traded Brandon Morrow, who was selected over Lincecum, for virtually nothing,
Let me know when Morrow achieves anything remotely as impressive as Lincecum then.. until that happens, he was just more of Bavasi's trash to clean out.
and brought back an old man who sleeps during games as the primary DH..I mean, come on.
1. Griffey is not the primary DH..he's platooning with Sweeney. 2. According to insiders, Griffey is pretty much the only reason Ichiro is still in Seattle.
And as for run production, name a free agent who was available they could have realistically gotten? Who'd have thought Figgins and Kotchman would have forgotten how to hit a damned ball once they got to Seattle?
