Was he once the worst GM in MLB?

I suppose that is debatable but yes, Dave Stewart is the answer.  87-90 with the A's.

Traded him (and Arroyo) for:

But I was more thinking about Inciarte and Swanson for Shelby Miller.

That was another bad one.

I was joking about his comments after basically giving away Toussaint for cash.  He made clear that he didn't grasp the excess value that teams got out of a guy's team controllable years.

That was the "He's worth $2M because that's the draft bonus we paid him" comment?  That absolutely enraged me.

Couple of days late but Javy Lopez would have been my guess for HRs.  260.

I looked up Beau’s question, most will probably remember him from bloopers videos from the ‘80s with the Orioles. 

well this made it easy.  to be honest, a bit shocked he never made at least one...

7 guys have led MLB in doubles, triples, and HR at some point in their career:

Only one has also led in singles:

Cobb

 

Due to some previous work I'm pretty sure about these 5 Cobb, Gehrig, Hornsby, Mize, Crawford.  

I will guess Hornsby for the singles

I looked it up and I was right about the team and the year but I couldn't remember the guy's name...or his teammate's name that lost 19.

There's been a 17, 18, or 19 game loser almost every year though.  Maybe there's something to the hack baseball announcer cliche that you have to be pretty good for them to keep sending you out there to lose 20.
