Rizzo was part of the decision process BEFORE naming a GM. Rizzo moves to consider: Walker, Wang, getting the Strasburg deal signed, Jessie English, Mike Morse, Storen, Pudge, Marquis, Bruney, Nyjer, and Burnett, Villone twice, Livan twice, holding on to Willingham, Aaron Thompson.
Not all great moves. The theme I see is bringing in top shelf character players. Dukes was a glaring exception, and I think it was charitable, because as I said before, the man has a ton of child support to pay. The only diva in that list above is maybe Bruney.
