*shrugs* Again, I'm willing to put Morrow in the "oops" corner and still count Jack's trade record as quite a positive.
In evaluating ANY general manager, you've got 15 primary things to put in the good column, and 15 primary things to put in the oops column. As Craig Wright said, if he's batting 60% he is leading the field.
But at any given time, a GM is defined by a bumper sticker - by one move. It used to be that Jack Zduriencik was --- > Franklin Gutierrez. Now he's --- > Brandon Morrow.

I'm with you, G: I'd lump the Morrow trade with the two Lee trades, whether or not they were schemed that way behind the scenes.
And my guess is that they WERE schemed that way. But it wouldn't matter if they weren't.
