Obviously I'm not a fan at all of Dayton Moore, but I feel like you're the exact opposite. You have an explanation or excuse for everything he's done. I respect your opinions and input a lot, but I find it hard to believe that you can't find any criticism of the work he's been doing.
I believe Moore's track record since the world series would have gotten him fired in a big market by now. I also believe that any good will earned from the World Series should be done with by now, and his current evaluation should be based on the on-field results from 2016 going forward.

Duffy had a phenomenal year in 2016. The best of his career. He hasn’t regressed every year since 2014. 2017 was a trying year for him personally, it affected his results on the field, and the offers for him in the offseason were not needle-moving.
I’m fine with legitimate critiques of Moore. He has made mistakes. Problem is that most of your critiques are angry, illogical and lacking context.
I was hard on the approach for the return on Herrera. I’ve got no problem critiquing the draft approach in the first half of this decade, though it hasn’t been as below average as you and some others think and philosophy has clearly shifted in reaction to performance problems.
I’ll challenge you again: what player should Moore have traded that had huge value, and when he should he have traded them?
You keep saying he has a tendency to sit on guys who will demand big returns and waste their value. Put some content where you mouth is.
