With the much anticipated season ahead, after a second place finish in the AL East last season, I thought I would make up this poll to see how people are feeling about what JP has done.
I liked the moves he pulled last year. B.J and Burnett were great signings (Molina, not so much). He also pulled off a few good trades (Hudson and Batista for Glaus & the trade for Overbay).
This offseason, he didn't do as much. But it's hard to blame him, with the way the market was. Thomas is a gamble, and we'll see how he turns out. I like the fact the they re-signed Zaun, and the Wells extension looks good too.
Recently, he seems to have admitted defeat in the quest for a 4th starter. The signing of Thomson shows that. With all the guys left on the market being either injured, too much of a risk, too expensive, or simply bad, it looks like theres a ST competition for the 4th and 5th spots.
JP has improved the team, IMO. How do you rate him over the past few seasons? Out of ten.
