Re: One of my friends thinks Theo Epstein is an overated GM.
Don't be results-oriented? By what other measure should one assess a GM's performance? Simple fact of the matter is that several of Theo's major acquisitions (Gagne, Drew, Lugo) have been absolute abominations this year (and let's not forget Wily Mo, our left fielder of the future), and many of the guys they've given up have been performed extremely well elsewhere.
I agree with almost everything written in that diatribe. The Sox are winning despite Theo's efforts since the end of 2004.
