I'm not so sure about Epstein.

Yeah, the Beckett trade is one I think every contending team would've made.

But I wonder about things like the Mirabelli fiasco (not that I expect Cla Meredith to have anything like his '06 year), the Wily Mo Pena-Arroyo deal, the strange inability to settle on a shortstop, and now (if the Helton rumors are to be believed) a kind of overreaction to giving up guys like Hanley/Anibal by overvaluing guys like Ellsbury and Hansen.

Remember, the Rockies would be pretty good if they multiplied their budget by a factor of 2.5. JD Drew would be in CF next year, Matsuzaka would be the ace, and O'Dowd would have about $40 million left over to play with ...
