Ya, to be fair Z has made some signings that looked questionable even at the time..
My gut didn't like the Figgins signing, but my brain argued otherwise. He was a quality 3-4 WAR player signed under a reasonable deal. His comps tended to have 2 more quality seasons followed by 2-3 years of declined production. The idea was that we'd be getting an impact player the first two years and an above-average one the last two. The lesson learned is that you don't hand multi-year deals to non-star level players well into their 30s.
Jack Wilson was definetly questionable. Z argued that he didn't hit because he wasn't healthy.. he was in decline.
