IMO drafting Kevin Garnett is enough to make McHale not the worst ever.

I think it counts against him, how can you draft a player as dominant as KG and then deliberately sabotage his career untill he's in his 12th yr

If you're assigning the balance of responsibility of the GM to the draft, then I guess Elgin Baylor should be in the conversation. However, it's hard for him to work for an employer who historically refuses to pay for talent and/or resign core players. I dunno, I think even Jerry West would have a hard time in that role.

I know he isn't the "worst ever," but Brian Cashman has been pretty terrible.

Pavano
Kevin Brown
Giambi
Proctor

etc.

Pavano: Pwned
Kevin Brown: Pwned
Giambi: Eh, he had some really good seasons and even his bad seasons he has an OBP of around .400. He really understood OBP back in 2001. Even knowing what we know now, Giambi was not a terrible signing. For another team where his salary would be a team killer maybe, but not the Yanks.
Proctor: ?? I don't understand?

Jered Wright was a really bad signing. But people forget about it because it's been overshadowed by Pavano.
