steven, what you don't understand apparently is that those of us criticizing the trade weren't on board with waiting another two years to win. There was a clear path to winning this year and keeping our best offensive power prospect in the fold for another six years.

I think this trade hinges on if we had any chance to actually sign a guy like Sanchez. If we didn't, then this trade is a solid long term play by Moore. If we did, then it was a poor trade. Sadly we may never know the answer.
