At least they are giving JP enough rope to hang himself with. I think he has not done a good job at all managing this team.

I'm not sure I agree. His draft record still remains to be evaluated but most of the moves he made last off-season were good.
- The Overbay Deal: looks great
- Troy Glaus: Has given the Jays a legitimate cleanup hitter and protection behind VW.
- BJ Ryan: Not as good in the 2nd half but still one of the top closers in the AL
- AJ Burnett: Overall doesn't look great but if he can remain healthy and pitch as he's done as of late he will be a good #2 for the next 4 years.
- Molina: Bad signing in retrospetive but only a 1 year thing so not disastorous.
My only beef with JP is he shoots from the hip a little too much. His comments clamming the 3-4-5 hitters in the mid-season did not help. He needs to realize what his role is as the GM and only speak on the matters. Leave those other type of comments to Gibbons.
