Yeah, his good trade to bad trade ratio isn't so hot over the last few years. I don't trust him at all to be honest, I firmly believe he lucked out on Donaldson... no way either AA or Beane expected him to go supernova.
Who knows maybe he'll figure out a way to trade for a couple of good starters and 2-3 decent relievers to give this team a chance... but somehow I doubt it. More likely he does nothing or makes a minor trade or two. Other teams will demand a premium for pitching, AA picked the wrong position to be weak at (obviously I know it wasn't by design). I don't even think this team has enough good prospects to pull off the multiple trades that would be required anyway.
Basically, you're hoping AA gets lucky and pulls off multiple deals where he is the clear winner. I'm hoping ownership looks at the situation rationally. Agree to disagree.
