Purp killed this team, really. For less you see GM's fired. Lets see: Beltran, Pettitte, Clemens, Bengie Molina, Hirsh, Taveras, Buchholz. In return??? Woody, Jennings (injured and 1 year pitcher), Ausmus, Biggio and Lee. Only good move is Lee. We need a catcher, right? ? Well, who is catching in KC?

Isn't Buchholz getting slammed out in Colorado?

The guy in KC is the guy that got us Beltran and that was Gerry's deal.

If Bucholz is dead it wouldn't change the fact Purputa's got a bad track record as a GM.

Hirsch is doing well in Colorado. How is Taveras hitting out there? Whatever he's doing, he's better than what we have besides Lee and Pence.

Isn't Buchholz getting slammed out in Colorado? Well, at least he is pitching for the team, something we can't say about Jennings.

Well, Taveras is doing very good getting more walks, OBP is around .375 which is great.
I don't think is going to end at that number, probably at .320.
10 steals and 8 caugh stealings, so not good either.
Now, I don't believe in trading for 1 year players, especially when you are giving a cf and 2 starters in return.

Then you didnt like Gerry Hunsicker. Thats what he did all the time.
I am telling you, Gerry and Purp are the same guy. Gerry taught Tim.

ABl, surely you aren't comparing Hunsicker and Purpura! Hunsicker traded for Moises Alou, Carl Everett, Randy Johnson, etc. He got Willy Taveras and Luke Scott for Jeriome Robertson. What the hell has Purpura done to help the team. Drayton handled the signing of Carlos Lee. Purpura hasn't done a damn thing to help the team. Hunsicker put together a team that went to the World Series.

Yes.. they are the same guy. Gerry is the reason the farm system is a shambles. That is his fault. Putting all of this on Purpura is wrong. Tim shares his part in this, but Gerry has only been gone for 2 seasons. This team was headed this way in a hurry and Gerry got out while the getting was good.
The state of the system didnt happen overnite.
He wasnt as good as some believe.

I never like the idea of giving the job to this fat little lapdog and he has proven me right.

I am not defending him, because I think this crap is his fault too.
But where do you come up with Tim being a Lapdog? Because he does what his Boss tells him too? His Boss gives him a budget and he stays within it?
Gerry was a lapdog also. They all are.
