Re: Who is the worst GM is pro sports history?
Tim Purpura GM of the Astros was absolutely atrocious.
He traded cost-controlled players with professional experience: Willy Taveras, Jason Hirsh, and Taylor Buchholz for an over-paid, injured Jason Jennings. Because he dropped the ball on Pettitte and made a desperate move for a "#2 guy."
He also enjoys keeping guys like Morgan Ensberg, Brad Lidge, and Chris Burke until they have zero trade-value, then trading them or attempting to shop them.
The dude has like the complete opposite understanding of value, as Webster and humanity define it.
PM me when he dies in a grease fire, plz.
