Really? In the last year he's been a failure?


Alex Rodriquez $275M/10yr
Mark Teixeira $180M/8yr
Derek Lowe $60M/4yr
Prince Fielder $18M/2yr


Those are some of the highlights from the "last year or so" not to mention the contracts he has gotten for Daisuke Matsuzaka, J.D. Drew, Johnny Damon & Barry Zito in the last few years. On top of that you have Manny Ramirez who got out of 2 club option years which had no long term security for him and Jason Varitek who is probably going to be grossly overpaid by the Red Sox. Plus even his "lesser known" guys seem to be doing alright as Alex Cora just signed 1 year 2 million dollar contract w/ the Mets.

If that's a failure in your eyes then I hope I never need to live up to your expectations.
