And this site isn't known for blithe optimism. So, I think you're preaching to the choir about our chances of winning the Central.
But the question wasn't "Did Jim do barely enough to scrape by to win baseball's weakest division?" It asked for a grade. I disagree with Runnys that you have to wait until the season's over the evaluate the GM's moves...did it take anyone more than 5 minutes to "evaluate" the $126 Million Zito signing? Some things are pretty obvious.
I think the consensus is that Jim did a decent, but hardly stellar job. C-grade.

the last line of your post is just retarded. they're backup players and relievers. they weren't brought here to win 17 games or bat .340. c'mon kb, are you serious when you say stuff like that?

Dude, when you gave up the Comic Lord title, did you also completely give up your sense of humor? Your question to me was "are you serious?" Think about that; I just proposed Paul Bako hitting .340, and you have to ask if I'm fucking <i>serious</i>?
It was a joke. A dumb one, but an obvious one. Half the time when I'm discussing Hendry, I'm just pulling Clappie's leg. He knows what's going on.
But since we're being 100% literal, in answer to your question, No, I wasn't being serious.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
