You can complain about the Morales, Pearce, Grandy and Garcia signings (add in the Happ trade) - but those are all pretty small peanuts man.
In turn, I could say Galvis, Shoemaker, Sogard, Maile, Gaviglio, Woodman for A.Diaz trade, A.Diaz for Thornton trade, Giles trade, Grichuk trade, Pearce trade, draft picks, international signings, Oh signing & trade
There's a quick list of solid moves that Atkins has made. All solid, yet more small peanut transactions. The obvious trend here is to make a ton of minor moves (some of which will work out, while others won't), clear payroll and rebuilding the farm system. It's pretty obviously they've made a conscious effort to hang tight until they're in a better position to strike. We should be talking about whether we agree with that approach or not. The real test will come when they start to make tangible moves that will impact the team long term. Until then - it's pretty inconclusive IMO.
