Critiquing Ricciardi
HSAC Blog wonders if J.P. Ricciardi is an overrated GM. I've been wondering that for a while.

But who thinks he's good in the first place?
There are two huge problems with that post:
(1) Making any kind of grand, general statement about J.P.'s abilities as a GM - a job he has been doing since 2001 - based on a single contract signing in 2007 is horribly myopic.
(2) Even the argument about Wells is flawed, based as it is on a very small set of very poorly chosen "comparable" players. The first response to post on that site makes the point quite well.
Given the way that article flows, I'm not really sure if the author's point was "J.P." sucks or "Vernon is overpaid". Regardless, he failed to make either point.
