Short-Sighted, Hind-Sighted, It's All the Same

Dr. Phil dusts off one of his favorite scripts today. For good measure, he tosses in a crack about the "short-sighted Juan Pierre trade."

This would be the same Juan Pierre Dr. Phil dubbed a "proven run producer" last winter. The same Juan Pierre Dr. Phil said would be an "ideal fit" for the Cubs' center field gig mere days before the trade was made.

Short-sightedness is a common failing among MLB executives. Hind-sightedness, on the other hand, is considered a strength among journamalists.
