He's been patient in initial development with guys when they were bad and could afford it.

Ultimately, if Hosmer/Butler/Gordon/Perez/Moustakas don't produce (at least 3 of those guys), it doesn't much matter how many other good moves Moore makes. They've done everything they can to support those guys and allow them to develop. Up to them now.

Hardest things and most expensive things to acquire are power and top of rotation starting pitching.

Spot on. Agree on every point. He made the Shields deal thinking (or hoping) that Butler & Moose would replicate their 49HR season in 2012 if not surpass it, and that Gordon would hit 20+. If that doesn't happen we are simply SOL and very few here or, frankly, around MLB would've forseen the power outage. At least to the extent it's happening.
