When KW traded for D. Wells, everyone was thrilled, thought we had the series in '01 in our pocket. Seemed like a damn good move to me at the time. But when the Ritchie trade was made, I looked at who we gave up and the thought that went through my mind was "Where the hell is Brian Giles?" .... I couldn't believe he gave up Kip, Fogg and Lowe for a mediocre veteran pitcher. To me, Lowe was a mediocre veteran pitcher. The Marte trade worked out well, and I like the Jiminez deal. The Harris deal was worth a shot because Singleton was extremely expendable. All in all, he hasn't done a bad job with the exception of the Ritchie deal. That was a stinker from the start.
