If by this year it means after the 2016 WS till the end of the 2017 WS. Let's take a look at his best acquisitions.
- Matt Adams - We traded a potential light hitting DH for a guy who has put up a .900 plus OPS.
- Brandon Phillips - He's quietly having one of his best seasons and we gave up absolutely nothing for him.
- Tyler Flowers - I believe he was signed to a 2 year deal this offseason. Another guy who is having a career year.
- Jim Johnson - I know he's got some blown saves, but he's actually been pretty good this year. Statistically it's been one of his best seasons.
We got a lot of value from all four of those guys for the price. We kept all of our prospects, which is the most important thing.
I can think of one really bad move he made this offseason, which is obviously Barolo Colon. So you've got one bad move and 4 good moves that has turned a team that really had no business in the playoff discussion suddenly become a part of the conversation.
