Date	Question	Answer
2009-10-28 14:00:00	Can you believe what I did? I can't believe I offered David Wright to the Jays for Jose Cruz Jr. in 2002 and they declined. Will I ever be a GM in MLB again? (Steve Phillips from Clinic)	Yes, I can believe you did it again. Like strikeout rate, plate discipline and health, the ability to operate one's zipper appropriately is a skill - adjusted for context, performance in that category correlates from one year to the next as opposed to fluctuating randomly. Let's just say your track record didn't offer much hope. And let's face it: you're done in MLB. Younger and smarter GMs are coming along every day. (Jay Jaffe)
