    Unless nobody else could afford to trade for an expensive pitcher in 2010. then they should have just kept him. did they HAVE to dump salary this offseason? either way, i find it hard to believe nobody else was willing to take on that 13 mil for vazquez.

    how are people saying this is anything other than an awful, awful trade for the braves? vazquez was a top 5 pitcher in the NL last season and they get a mediocre cf and a reliever? i understand they get salary relief, but wow. there's no reason they shouldn't have gotten much better talent back to go with that salary relief.

    i almost used that exact phrase

    for the team it's about winning the world series. ultimately, a gm can't control what his team does in the playoffs. all he does is build a team and then hope they perform when it matters. if the 2008 cubs had shown up for the playoffs and won the world series, would that have meant jim hendry had built a better team? no, it still would have been the same team he built. let me ask you something. who deserves more credit- walt jocketty for building the 2006 cards (won 83 games, but also the world series) jim hendry for building the 2008 cubs (97 wins, swept in the first round) ? Which season would you rather take as a fan? that has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation

    According to the going rate for free agent WAR, yes. so you're saying he was worth 3/32, but it doesn't justify 3/21? im confused

    the bulls took the court

    Over the length of the contract he was worth roughly 32 million. you say that like it's a proven fact those fangraph figures can be useful and fun to look at, but come on. maruis was a league average starter with the cubs. a league average starter is not worth 3/32 The contract was 3/21. I'm not justifying the contract, 3 years was pretty boneheaded, but Marquis held up his end of it. 7 million a year, like it or not, is pretty normal for a league average pitcher. you just said he was worth 32 over those 3 years. do you believe that, or not?

    And he's three years older and the economic climate is significantly different than three years ago. And 39 is a hell of a lot ERA+ points. The Marquis contract with the Cubs was pee your pants hilarious. Over the length of the contract he was worth roughly 32 million. you say that like it's a proven fact those fangraph figures can be useful and fun to look at, but come on. maruis was a league average starter with the cubs. a league average starter is not worth 3/32

    Five years ago, you could still believe in wins as a stat and simply be considered behind the times. But if you don't have some sort of evidence that you were in a coma, monastary, or frozen Encino Man style, we have to assume that you're choosing to remain ignorant rather than attempt intelligent conversation. Stop wasting our time. Sorry, Rob. But you and your confused ilk have yet to provide any stat that is more important than wins for a starting pitcher, especially one that is paid over $18 million a year. What's more important WHIP? :wink: Other stats have importance but not to the degree of wins. Your expectations seem quite low and indicative of your understanding. what disability do you have?

    yeah, dave's post was obtuse again, but you can't say a gm is judged by whether or not they own the WS. he can't control that. all he can control is the team he puts on the field. once the playoffs start, there's nothing he can do.hendry doesn't deserve less credit for the 2008 cubs just because they failed to show up for the playoffs. that's not on him.

    there's a difference between not wanting to come out and being a dick about. childress is the head coach, not brett favre. it's his call. brad childress is dumb, but he's the coach
