Cole Hamels, Ruben Amaro and intellectual dishonesty

Look, I get it. Many, if not most of you, don't like Ruben Amaro. You don't think he's done a good job, you see the Phillies have gotten progressively worse during his tenure as general manager, and you see a team that has lost seven in a row and now sits at 19-33, all with a payroll of nearly $147 million.

The team was about a year and a half too late to acknowledge that it was time to forget about the glory years and start to build for the future. And many of the moves that have been made during his tenure have not worked out.
