Dark Day in Dodgerville


Read it and weep.

It's not that there is no
possibility of Colletti being a serviceable GM, but compared to what we had (Depo) or could have had (Epstein or Ng), Colletti is a big downgrade.

Comments:
some "ned colletti" anagrams:

led til conte
old lice tent
ill to decent

on the other hand:

do intellect
 
Well, I guess I've moved on from sad to resigned.

We've read the tea leaves and we can make guesses, but we don't really know what Colletti will do. I'd rather have a stats guy than a chemistry guy, but I'm more concerned about the Giants emphasis on veterans over youth.

How much of this was Colletti's doing? and will he try to repeat the pattern here? Time will tell.
 
aaeamdar -- clearly the 800 lbs gorilla is Bonds. Did Sabean/Colletti pick their strategy because they had Bonds, or because they just like veterans? And did the presence of Bonds mask bad deals that would have sunk a Bondless team. Is it much of an accomplishment to best the Fox-era Dodgers 8 of 9 years if you have Bonds? And even if all this were knowable, how much would it say about Colletti apart from Sabean. Only time will tell.

Ross -- positive isn't an accurate representation -- open is more like it. I'll give Colletti a chance to work hi magic before I pass judgment. On the other hand, I think we have enough evidence to pass judgment on the McCourts. They are buffoons. As I said in my post, firing Depo was a huge mistake.

haileysdad -- I'll pass on Washburn and refer you to Ross' comment on yours or his blog (don't remember which anymore).
