Tournament of Hearts: Defend J.P.'s Honour?

by hugo on Apr 16, 2008 7:30 PM EDT in Events Comment 5 comments

Bucs Dugout is running an interesting tournament - the quest to determine the worst G.M. in baseball. Right now, our friend J.P. Ricciardi is battling Dan O'Dowd of the Colorado Rockies in a first-round matchup.

Go over to Bucs Dugout, and either support our GM or throw him under the bus! And tell us which way you voted and why in the comments right here if you're so inclined.

I voted against

O’Dowd has improved and while his signings have been terrible, JP’s trades weren’t that great either.

Either way, they had a WS appearance and we haven’t seen the playoffs yet.

P.S.

is the title a homage to the Weakerthans or the Constantines?

both!

it’s hard to not vote for the guy who gave Hampton that contract, but I think both O’Dowd and Ricciardi have learned from their mistakes (which is why they still have a job), however much Ricciardi doesn’t want to admit it.

JP

What I don’t like about JP is he came in and told ownership that they could get a winning team and lower salary. Then he has the job for a year and starts saying they need more salary….

Other thing I don’t like about him at the moment….Reed Johnson just hit a double that makes him 3 for 3 today…..
