Yay for poor asset management this offseason!
I believe in Ryan though, I trust Ruben Amaro's judgement through and through.
He's got a WS title as a Jr. Deputy GM Bitch, and then subsequently kept the team in the hunt for another three whole years!
Plus look at his awards and achievements from Wiki
In 2008, Amaro was one of three people inducted into the All-American Amateur Baseball Association Hall of Fame.[11]
In 2009, Amaro was inducted into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.[10][12]
That same year, baseball fans nationwide voted him the MLB "This Year in Baseball Awards" 2009 Executive of the Year.[13]
Also in 2009, the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association (PSWA) named him its Executive of the Year.
