He did overpay on some signings, but if you have the money to blow that's not such a bad thing. A healthy Gagne, Odalis, and JD Drew and the Dodgers are much better and he'd probably still be in LA. Plus he was able to do the most important thing - not resign Beltre.Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170319.post-1130767360389052412005-10-31T09:02:00.000-05:002005-10-31T09:02:00.000-05:00We agree with you, Mr. K.

The timing is such that Bowden may be in the job for a while.<BR/><BR/>As for the date of DePo's hire, our bad. Too much emotion when I was writing the post.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511181153423391650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170319.post-1130766673811943902005-10-31T08:51:00.000-05:002005-10-31T08:51:00.000-05:00Ummm... he was the GM for 2 seasons.

Everyone thought we had a good shot at Brian Cashman because of his local connections, but the Evil Empire's grip was too strong and he caved. Let's hope the Nationals ownership group (i) is selected soon and (ii) chooses its GM wisely. We'd be in good hands with DePodesta, and I've got to think that he'd welcome the opportunity to come home and build a winner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
