You can argue whether the players Ben signed were the right targets or not, but to me it's the fast and loose handing out of money that's the main concern. The rush to extend Poorsigning and Miley, the butthurt rebound lashing out and grabbing Castillo when they lost out on Abreu (and paying Castillo MORE than Abreu got!!!) I think Ben has been foolish financially, was he really so blindly confident in these players being the goods, to hand them extensions before they'd pitched for the team and had a single MLB at bat respectively?
