I think you judge a GM in a big market by the moves he doesn't make, and Omar has shown the ability to resist the temptation to make the impulse trade. Even though he's made some slip ups recently, I think he is clearly one of the best GMs in the game. Agreed.

They want him to get some of the rust off. They also have to send someone down. This gives more time to decide on that. He hasn’t pitched since August 5th. They want him to get some of the rust off.

More likely our roster has the most of those players on it. As far as the Hispanic thing, who cares. I don't hear the players whining about it.
