To me, whoever traded Valverde away to Houston should be the 1st to be fired. Then, the guy who signed the low life Andruw Jones. I would think it's obvious that if you pay a guy 15-17 mil a year, and he hits a buck 50, then you have got to lose your job. Joe told that fatboy he couldn't help them. In September, a guy making 15-17 mil is not good enough to play. How bad a decision was that(to sign him?)

Jones was the worst thing they've done in a long time!

Paying Schmidt 30 mil for 3 games of bad pitching wasn't much better. This is 2 years in a row Nickle Confetti has fkd up.

Hits, home runs, runs scored against him were all highest they had been in Frisco. He was only 11-9 in 2006. I knew he wasn't as good as he had been. He had from 40-70 less strike-outs than 2-3 years earlier(for the same amount of innings.) His earned runs against wasn't that bad, but he was giving up more unearned runs(he was losing arm strength...had to pitch more to contact.) I agree it wasn't as bad as the Jones signing, but the results are the same(money pissed away.) Confettiboy should stay the hell away from Vegas.
