Well, yes. We need names for the separate categories: things the
Giants, if they had a GM who wasn't an idiot, should do (or have done);
and, things that Sabean should have done, given that he's an idiot.
Sort of like you can ask whether Bowker is having a good year for

1Bs.

You know, he's pretty damn hot lately, kinda like how hot he was when he
first got here, which got him his big contract. So you never know...
