Which Was the Worse Steve Phillips Decision, Hundley or Vaughn?

I'm not usually turning this page into a gossip column parading about peoples personal lives and their affairs and divorces, but it is Steve Phillips. So... which Steve Phillips decision was worse his affair with Brooke Hundley or Signing Mo Vaughn?

Signing Mo Vaughn - Mo Vaughn was fat old and coming off a season in which he didn't play single game due to injuries as a result of being fat and old. So Steve Phillips naturally decided to trade Kevin Appier for him and inherit a contract more bloated than Mo himself.

The end results
1. The Mets sucked.
2. The Mets lost a lot, a lot, a lot of money.
3. Steve Phillips was fired and never to be hired again as an MLB GM.

Affair with Hundley - The affair with Hundley is a bad decision for a multitude of reasons. First off he's old, she's not. Second off, she's not exactly Brooklyn Decker. Finally, she was quite obviously psychotic.

The end results
1) Mr. Phillips is a married man and this affair has obviously obliterated his marriage and his family.
2) He's at the very least suspended by ESPN and with the media attention just might find himself fired again.ha
3) Millions of People will see these pictures and think, what the f*ck was he thinking?

Phillips also traded Hundley (Todd) to the Dodgers in 98 for Roger Cedeno and Charles Johnson

Perhaps this was a form of Hundley revenge... Todd might have been a better catch.

Yea at least Todd was a switch hitter

I wouldn't necessarily say 100% that Todd was the only switch hitting Hundley

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
