A reading from the Book of Ruben Amoron Jr: 1. Discarding Lee for 3 awful non-prospects to save $9 mil.; then squandered $24 mil. on Blanton. 2. Howard $125 mil. extension -- while still under contract for 2 more yrs -- most senseless unjustifiable extension in history. 3. Trading 3 top prospect for 2 decent months of declining mediocre Oswalt. 4. Not re-signing or replacing Werth with another outfielder, then trading 4 top prospects for just 1 yr of Pence. 5. Discarding Pence for bargain basement return, then discarding the one player (Schierholtz) who was unexpectedly good. 6. Signing mediocre to awful Papelbon to absurd $50 mil. 7. Never calling up Grilli to major league roster despite his being Phils best reliever in minors, then discarding him for nothing. 8. Discarding Moss for nothing. 9. Discarding Victorino for virtually nothing, then never replacing him with major league caliber centerfielder. 9. Resigning over-the-hill non-hitting shortstop for $33 to 44 mil over 3 to 4 yrs. 10. Acquring Wigginton, Nix, Thome, etc instead of any major league quality players pre-2012. 11. Acquiring Delmon, Michael Young, etc pre-2013 instead of major league quality players. 12. Acquring Baez, Herndon, Qualls, Willis, Durbin, Adams, Lindblom, etc instead of major league quality relievers. 13. Wasting $18 mil and 3 years on Polanco and never acquiring a major league quality 3rd baseman since 2009 -- no production out of 3rd base position since 2009. can list dozens more -- most incompetent clueless g.m. in sports
