Bavasi's strengths sucked too!

It looks like by the end of the day two of Bill Bavasi's coveted first round draft picks will be heading to a new organization. Rumors have Jeff Clement all but gone and speculation is that Brandon Morrow might join him.

Why does this matter? How does this involve Bill Bavasi? Why do we keep bringing up that horrible excuse of a General Manager? Well the reason is, for all the things that Bavasi wasn't, he WAS supposed to be a hell of a talent evaluator and was tasked with re-stocking the Mariners farm system. Clement and Morrow were two of Bavasi's first round draft picks and have clearly fallen out of the eye of new GM Jack Zduriencik.

If you pair this with the decision to move Philippe Aumont to the bullpen the report card on Bill Bavasi's tenure with the M's is about as good as the college student who spends his time smoking pot all day rather than going to class. Hell, I think that kid could've done a better job, at least then we'd still have Adam Jones.

If this deal goes through, Bavasi's legacy with the Mariners will be defined as the guy who gave up Adam Jones for nothing and wasted four consecutive first round picks. Two on guys shipped out of town and two as relief pitchers.
