Best GM in the game?

[Youk]

Crawford has a 0.5 WAR this year in 380 at bats. Worse then Ryan Howard!

:damn:

None of his stats are anywhere near what they should be for the amount of money he is being paid.

He's grounded into more double plays. That's one thing that went up.

 

[Youk]

Crawford is hitting .305 since May 25th. Which after today's game will be exactly half of the season played. I think thats enough to be done with the bust comments.

He's a bust.

 

[NAHSTE]

He's a bust.

Not his fault Boston gave him a boat load of money even though they didn't need him. Theo sucks.

:lesmug:

 

[Swarley]

He's a bust.

I think one bad season is a little soon to call the 7 year deal a bust. Too much talent for him to do that year in and year out throughout this deal. Just my opinion though.

Not sure how they couldnt see it coming with Crawford.. hes been less then spectacular for quite some time now, they never should've paid him as such.

I heard on PTI the other day that Cashman was only playing his interest in Crawford to drive the price up on Boston, I thought that was awesome.. I hope you guys enjoy the brutal contract for the average player for the next half decade.

I'd rather have this contract and Crawford than the absolutely absurd contract Cashman gave the completely shitty Burnett. As much as we overpaid for Crawford, it's no comparison to the fuck up Cashman made with that contract.

And just b/c that's what Cashman said, doesn't mean that's actually how it was.

If only Cashman could avoid driving up the price of his own free agent signings.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Im sure both teams do it to each other, along with other teams, I just enjoy that kind of gamesmanship.

As far as AJ goes.. the market for pitchers over the last 5 years has been absurd. All kinds of average to well below average pitchers got insane amounts of money. Gil Meche and Jason Marquis come to mind.

Now that was a fucking retarded signing.

 

[NAHSTE]

How is Ruben not even mentioned yet? He's not the best, but the dude's acquired a key piece for the team at the deadline since he's been with us. He's built and maintained a championship caliber teams and he's only been a GM since 08.

Just going to set this down right over here.

 

[Pitty]

Lol, after the first game of the season.

Underrated...

Dave Dombrowski - Built the Marlins championship team that went to the World Series in the 2003 season. Built a Tigers team that went to the World Series in 2006 last year after losing 119 games in 2003 and back to the World Series last year.

Drafting great players...trading for great players...signing great players...he's done it all.

Andrew Friedman in the AL
Frank Wren in the NL

Close thread.

:yep:

I'd have Friedman in a class of his own, then Wren in his own tier, then 3-4-5 and so on.

Right, way too early to decide whether or not Ruin Tomorrow, Jr. is a terrible GM. Need larger sample size, like five more seasons.

Wow no one is going to bring up Jon Daniels?

So much for the most educated of all the sports discussion forums.. :tiptoe:

Edit: Just saw that Shark put him in the "honorable mention" group but I don't see how guys like Anthopolous and Wren are getting so much love when Daniels' squads have done more on the field not to mention the Rangers ability to re-load that farm system year after year while winning.

It's a bump from 2 years ago. :shifty: Although I guess he deserved to be in the convo then...

My point still stands. :bettman:
