Imo.


Darvish #1
Heyward#2
Quintana#3


All 3 were huge mistakes that most fans never agreed with.

He can't hit outside Coors. Shouldn't a "scout" like you know that?

1) Choosing to keep Almora instead of trading for Verlander (which led to....
2) Quintana - I think that trade will forever alter the path of this team (valuing schwarber over Eloy etc)
3) Yu
4) Heyward
5) Chatwood
6) Besides Chapman, not really finding a true closer. Morrow is good but had the injury history and innings in the WS
7) DJ - maybe round 2 this year? He’s a free agent

Not trading for Verlander was huge.. I was a HUGE proponent. How do ya know almora was in that? I love Almora but Verlander was a WS winning piece imo. I think Schwarber and Russell gets it done.

I remember at the time all the reports said Detroit wanted Almora. It was hard to watch Verlander dominate that entire postseason on his way to a WS.

I think letting Maddon have an influence with Jim Hickey and Chili Davis and shitcanning Bosio is definitely an issue.

No doubt...I just got a chuckle out of listing him first.

I am in no way a Cubs fan, how can you have Maddon or Torres on there?

Without Maddon(yes I know his mismanagement of the bummpen) you don't have a WS.
Without Chapman, you don't have a WS.

I'm not sure if that's true.

The Chapman part is definitely true.

Its possible they could have traded for another closer, not as good as Chapman and still won it all, but not likely. If you recall the Pirates had no interest in dealing Melamcolin inside the division.

His biggest blunders (and there are quite a few) would have to be things after 2016, IMO. Anything done prior to that led to a WS, and the ends justify the means in that situation... even the acquisition of Heyward, which I hated from day 1.
