Best overall talent since the WS days, and Gibbons will f*** it up. I think only once Gibbons is fired will people realize how much of a wasted opportunity this was. He wasted JPR's best years, and he'll do the same for AA. Just have to hope the next GM is not an internal hire, because lord knows after another 3-4 years of rebuilding, Gibbons will be hired again because he's a funny redneck who makes jokes.
At this point, I might take a different stance though. When AA said he left the roster decisions to Gibbons, and decided Valencia's fate based on that, I knew I was directing my anger at the wrong man. Gibbons is a moron, but all he did was say yes when a bigger moron offered him a job he had no business doing. Gibbons has made good teams underachieve for years. That's what he does. If the GM not only keeps him around but also makes roster decisions based on his input, then the GM is at fault.
