He (1) had the best all time Baseball America prospect list in 2011, (2) made the gutsy Greinke AND Myers deals and (3) had a huge FA offseason in winter 2015.
He absolutely did not luck into that title. No way

Dayton surely gets credit for a World Series title. There's plenty of organizations better run who have less to show for their efforts. That being said, Moore was certainly lucky with trading away Myers. Moore did not identify Wade Davis as a dominate bullpen arm, and would have been thrilled if they could have used him as a solid #4/5 starter. The fact the plan did not work out with Davis in the rotation and becoming part of the domination with HDH closing out games was certainly quite a bit of luck.
