Baseball’s Worst Riccardis
A good list, although I think the Beltre contract was OK (as Posnanski half-concedes.) Two apercus I particularly endorse:
- “Here’s my thing about J.P. Ricciardi, the thing that really baffles the heck out of me: How can someone keep giving out contracts THIS BAD and keep his job and reputation? How? I’m serious. How?”
- “Funny, people will constantly rip the Yankees and Red Sox and teams like that for all the money they spend … but it is teams like the Mariners, Royals, Brewers, Blue Jays and Indians that seem to actually make the worst signings.”
A query: would Halladay + Wells’s contract in return for a Circuit City gift card be a good trade? I think it’s close…
