Perry is going to go down as the GM that had TWO of the best players of their generation and they accomplished dick. Last year they led the majors in strikeouts by a comfortable margin. I mean, it's hard to bring a guy in with a lead off double by continuously striking out. Yeah, they fired Reed as the hitting coach. This year, they have only slightly improved in that area. This season the pitching staff seems to have regressed, I mean one of the starters should have had something resembling a breakout season. That will be addressed when exactly? He may be a good GM to some, my problem is... there are too many GM's out there that are much better at their jobs.
