The problem
Ortiz or Bruney?
overseascardfan said:Ortiz he has been a major disappointment that is costing us 8 million a year. Bruney is cheaper and we could get rid of him easier.

Hey, Ortiz didn't steal squat from anyone - this lousy performance was considered extremely likely by nearly every stat-oriented baseball observer at the time. It was widely regarded as the worst off-season move in baseball. and he was GIVEN the keys to the treasure chest.
It was also considered real predictable a week ago after his abysmal 'rehab' starts that he'd implode early in his starts.
And if sending Koplove down rather than Bruney was the new interim GM's first solo decision, he's looking like a real genius, isn't he? Koplove had significantly better numbers on nearly every relevant stat than Bruney, AND Aquino, except K/9 IP and inherited runner percent (and he tied with Aquino on that).
