Who the hell cares what the Royals can do? Did the Yankee's, Redsox, Braves, Phillies, Angels or anyother large market team get any of those players? Did they try?

They were after Peavy AND brought in Vasquez. You don' think that Peavy and Vasquez's contracts add up to Santana? I disagree again. They were after Peavy AND brought in Vasquez.

Ricciardi has been ok at best, the BJ Ryan contract is killing them, giving vernon wells that huge contract is a mess, not trading burnett last season was a bad move.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Omar is the worst GM in baseball, far from it. But he's not the shrewd businessman some on here try to make him out to be.

If he can show any ability to play catcher I can see him at Citi Field next year. The way Buffalo is playing he might not be long for AA. And he can rake.

If so, I know you realize we are in a big market, so now what? Move the Mets to Oklahoma City? So is your ultimate point that only small market GMs can be considered to have acumen?
