He's worse then Gord Ash, at least Ash put together a team that could hit for average and power plus steal a ton of bases(Cruz Jr., Delgado, Batista, Fletcher, Mondesi, Stewart, Fullmer, Gonzalez, Bush). The only thing they lacked was quality pitching(Carpenter, Loaiza, Hamilton, Parris, Halladay plus the horrible trade of David Wells, a 20 game winner, for Mike Sirotka, a pitcher coming off of Tommy John Surgery who played a grand total of ZERO games as a Jay). <BR/><BR/>Ricciardi has hurt this team tremendously and has given false hope to fans by trading for or signing Free Agents to huge contracts who over-rated, injury plagued, unproven or over the hill (Burnett, Ryan, Thomas, Stairs, Eckstein, Rolen, Glaus). He's gone through several managers during his tenure and kept a horrible one the longest then tried disguising his mistakes by bringing in Cito Gaston. <BR/><BR/>Ricciardi's a bad con artist and anyone who follows the Jays see's right through him and the entire management team. None of them truly care if the Jays win. Out of the entire organization(management wise) the only guy who cares about the team and its fans is the owner, Ted Rogers. Everyone else are a bunch of stuck up, Wall Street wannabe's posing as baseball people. <BR/><BR/>JP Ricciardi's joke of a reign is over once the season ends, everyone knows it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
