I think Ash wasn't the greatest GM, he had a lot of scouts (who were cleaned house when JP came in) who were great and got some very good players.
Ash actually had a deal in place to trade Wells/Halladay for Pedro Astacio, but the Rockies backed out.
JP also has one of those that he backed out of, Lilly for Ryan Howard (back when he was blocked by Thome).
Both deals have been printed as fact by various TO media outlets.
