Pretty simple, really. In reading the fanpost on the apparent signing of SS Edgar Renteria, it seems there are different opinions about the wisdom of this move. So let's have a poll to gauge the overall reaction. I'm imagining three general outcomes: (1) It was a brilliant move, Renteria hit well and his defense were excellent whereas Furcal did an Andruw Jones; (2) it was a so-so move, with Renteria being league-averagish while Burriss languished on the bench, Furcal didn't set the world on fire, and we wonder how the lost draft pick turns out for the Tigers; or (3) it was yet another terrible FA signing by the youth-averse Sabean, who was eventually fired for his overspending ways and over-30 man-love.
Poll
How will we view this move in November, 2010?
1. After the two years, this will be viewed as an excellent signing; we'll have easily gotten our money's worth. (31 votes)
After two years, we'll be pretty meh. Renteria was okay, did better than Furcal, but wasn't anything special. (142 votes)
After two years, we'll dislike this signing because it was another expensive stopgap move by the deposed Sabean that didn't work out; Renteria's stats fell off a cliff, while Burriss blossomed in the Twins organization. (86 votes)
