Or the time when Shane O'Brien, on his, what, 6th team, didn't even make it 12 months on the roster before being bought out?
I really don't understand where this need to defend Feaster is coming from.
A tally of good moves to bad is heavily in weighted on the 'bad moves' side.
Most of the arguments here seem to based on saying the bad weren't as bad as some believe, but there is precious little space devoted to 'the good' of his tenure. That in and of itself says a lot.

yeah its really kind of weird that the main arguments made for defending Feaster is:
a) his hands were tied
b) his mistakes didn't result in consequence, therefore its just a academic exercise (its really not, I don't know if any of you have jobs, but in industry jobs, large segments of a company spend 90% of a product cycle in finding out all the potential problems.... I would think in a billion dollar industry, you would do the same due dilligence... when it comes to transactions, deals that formalized are vastly critisized because of the homework done leading up to the transaction, not the end product that we see....)
c) well while he failed to do what he really wanted to, at least the players on our team were so bad that we didn't have big contracts (except for the ones that did)
really kind of odd
