KW Ticker:
Cusses off Frank Thomas, arguably the best hitter in Sox History
Pays cash for 15 game of Manny Ramirez
Picks Rios of waivers
Signs Adam Dunn
Trades for Peavy

While I do agree the results have been disasterous, I really think his decisions on some of those were good decisions with bad outcomes. Frank Thomas' one was dumb, but at the same time, Thomas seemed to really flipped a switch because he was also at odds with the Jays during his time here, so it's possible KW was onto something.
Manny, Rios and Peavy were taken during rough patches in their career at reasonable prices (not so much Rios, but he was taken on waivers). They all had a huge upside if they got their stuff together. However, none worked out and it failed. Dunn was doing incredible but is having an off-season, bigtime. If anything, Dunn can bite them in the butt becaue of the pricetag, but I some things just can't be predicted.
