You can't judge a GM based on the contract of a couple of players. Besides, those players could have had the same money from a number of different clubs.

He grabbed Ramirez from Pittsburgh for a couple of nobodys, picked up Edmonds for table scraps, grabbed Reed Johnson off the Toronto scrap heap, all of which have had a major impact. Not to mention, signing Lou Piniella when Joe Girardi was the more popular choice.

Marquis and Howry are questions marks, but name me a GM that doesn't have a mistake here or there.

I don't think Hoff is the answer as a starting 1B but at the very least he should take Ward's spot on the bench as the left handed hitter.

I've got your answer for a power-hitting lefty at 1B. Hee Seop Choi

Just don't throw him a breaking ball.

Seriously though, I agree with trading D. Lee, but I'm not sure what the Cubs would want or get for him.

Did you really have to dig that out my memory. Bad....
