"Wonder Boy," as in "I wonder what the hell happened?"
I'm not the only one who doesn't think much of J.P. Ricciardi's skill as a general manager. From the Calgary Sun:
The Blue Jays are only a closer, a shortstop, two starting pitchers, a setup man and three bats away from competing with the Red Sox and the Yankees. Other than that, wonderboy J.P. Ricciardi is doing just great...
When your only successful acquisition over three seasons is Ted Lilly, you have a problem. Say what you want about injuries and budget cuts- he just hasn't gotten it done. I'd say J.P. is the odds-on favorite to be the first GM to get the axe. It's probably for the best, as he seems to be better suited to running numbers for Bill Beane.
