I personally am tired of all the "experts" in the M's blogosphere who are quick to slam GMZ's trades (e.g., Jaso trade, Upton trade) without taking a single second to try to understand his motives. For too many, the reflex response is that GMZ is stupid, incompetent, good at drafting only, etc. I find those responses arrogant, and they reveal more about the arm chair experts than they do about GMZ's trading ability. I enjoy this site because the first response to a GMZ trade is always to try to understand the reasons for Jack's moves, instead of instantly passing judgment. How conveniently the arm chair critics forget that Jack stole Jaso in 2011 trade with supposedly the best-managed team in baseball!
