But the Phillies "gave" Thome to the Sox and the D-Backs "gave" Vazquez to the Sox for basically the same reason. Plus, KW once traded for a guy of the wrong name. Does that make KW a bad GM? I don't think so.
Hendry made those moves to help his team, regardless of the other team's motives.
Any GM who could turn the horrific Todd Hundley into Mark Grudzielanek and Eric Karros is doing something right. He's a decent GM - not a genius, not a hack. He was worth re-upping with.
Thome's a little different situation. Sure, Philly was probably ready to dumb the contract, but they had a very solid Ryan Howard waiting in the wings. It wasn't a bad deal on their part at all.

This is still a team that will win over 100 games this season. There is no need to start panicking after 4. Lets not get crazy!
I really wish the search function was available for members that have joined in the past year. None of you would believe the person I quoted is the real Poppy.

And for the April 18th game, it looks like only 12K have been sold. That will be pretty embarrassing once that date rolls around.
The season ticket base is at least 21K. That won't happen.

Before AJ tried throwing out the base stealer, he said something like "He gawn!". I thought he was referring to the baserunner, but in retrospect I think it was about the batter
Wow Felix.. just wow.
