Frankly I think the jury may still be out on the Dye trade.

Am I missing any other blunders (major) that he made?
He blew the Dan O'Brien hiring--saying Krivsky had been hired.

He repeatedly called the Griffey to Reds deal dead.

He repeatedly said there was no way Griffey would accept being traded from the Reds, and that we ignorant readers should "get off it." This because he thought Griffey had a no-trade clause, which he didn't. He was a 10-5 player, which for some reason, Hal can't distinguish between.

And there have been others which I can't recall at the moment...
