Finally!!!!

Bill Bavasi is gone. After transforming a perennial winning team to the worst team in baseball, he finally was fired after 4.5 years (which seems like 45 years).

Here are some highlights:

Carlos Silva making about $10M per year:



Giving Jeff Weaver $8M last year:



Carl Everett:



$12M/ year to bat .196:


$5M/year to bat .064:



$11M/year to be average:



Horacio Ramirez (worst pitcher in baseball aside from Jeff Weaver):


Why's Carlos Guillen so happy? He just won the World Series and Bavasi traded him for nothing:

It might be nice to have Rafael Soriano (traded for Horacio):


and George Sherrill:



Also we traded our top prospect for a just above average pitcher that is injury prone and just signed our .230 hitting catcher to a 3 year $25M deal.

How did he last this long?

Well, at least it is over. Now we'll probably hire Allard Baird.

You forgot Bavasi's genuis signing of Rich Aurilia! After we got him there was no need for Guillen.

Didn't St. Louis beat detroit? I guess I could look it up, but I'm too lazy.

In fact I'm so lazy, that I did not know about Bavasi until reading this blog!
