Smith may have had a decent point but he picked the wrong personnel move to bitch about. Letting Steimsma go is hardly the worst embarrassment I could come up with.

Yeah, he could have really made a point by just focusing on things like the Gordon contract, the lack of SF (re-signing AFA), rotations, or even keeping Monty as a coach, but he completely wiffed. Even bringing up minimum deal guys that we called up after all of the injuries is just stupid. Our roster, before the GS/Ely move, was at 15, with 8 who can play, IIRC. Cutting Stiemsma, who is hurt and on a 1 year deal isn't anywhere close to an embarrassment.

Besides, no GM has a perfect score card. I'd rather a GM who can admit his mistakes (Bayless, Steimsma), than one who keeps the failures around in an attempt to justify his moves.
