great write up Dr. D
You got to love Z.  Who in the media or all of the blogosphere had even an inkling a move like this may go down.  All the focus was on the M's losing and what we may get from Lee.  Then Z pulls a rabbit out of his hat and brings in a big bat that had been missing in the lineup the entire season. 
But what is also impressive about this move is that Z is not worried about the subsequent fall out, since this was a player we had basically given up to free agency to begin with.  He does not care that this could be framed in the media as a sign he had made a mistake in the off season. 
Z's sole focus as it has always been is to continue to strengthen our current team on the field while building our minor league system thereby ensuring that a steady stream of talent will be arriving from the farm.
