if you look at what he's done over the last 4 years or so...with the 27th payroll out of 30 teams...its pretty amazing. he's constantly making great deals, always reloading the pen. giles for bay was a little lopsided, but bay has fallen off the map after a good first year. he got chris young and adrian gonzalez for aki and eaton, both who are no longer with the rangers. he made linebrink in to someone, he grabbed heath bell from the mets...they dont have any playoff success to show for it, but thats mainly due to the owner being a cheap ass
