I'd like to pause here, and put the definitive list together of Bavasi's greatest hits, preferably in order. I was inspired by looking at the season stats of two of the players involved in the Bedard trade, Adam Jones and Chris Tillman:

Adam Jones: .363 BA---.420 OBP---8 HR's---25 RBI's---35 Runs

Chris Tillman (AAA ball): 4-0---2.03 ERA---37 K's---12 BB's

You get the idea. Sherrill's not doing too bad either. Does this one top the all time list? Or is it the Silva signing? What's the proper ranking of Bavasi's hideousnesses?

Oh, I can have some fun with this. Some more nominees:

- Trading Rafael Soriano for Horacio Ramirez

- Trading Carlos Guillen for nothing in particular so he could sign Rich Aurilia

- Trading Shin-Soo Choo and Asdrubal Cabrera for the Indians' first base platoon (Ben Broussard and Eduardo Perez) in two separate deals

- Signing Jarrod Washburn

- Signing Miguel Batista

- Signing Richie Sexson

- Signing Scott Spiezio, Jeff Weaver, Carl Everett and Matt Lawton

- Extending Kenji Johjima's contract (though I've heard that he was largely blameless in this fiasco, as he was put up to it by the ownership group)

- Drafting Brandon Morrow ahead of Tim Lincecum, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer

- Drafting Jeff Clement ahead of Ryan Braun, Ryan Zimmerman, Troy Tulowitzki, Cameron Maybin and Jay Bruce

- Drafting Josh Fields

and i hadn't looked at jones' numbers, they are pretty impressive.
