In karma and general awesomeness, absolutely. Otherwise, I was pretty much planning on taking all the credit myself.

I was really thinking Hawk N Dove.

I think jponry is right. I think there's been a sea change in the game, and those kinds of deals aren't happening. It would seem even Sabean has come to understand this (though a bit late for some of us) in his not trading Cain or Lincecum. This gets us back to the fundamentals: scouting and drafting your young future stars. Hopefully, the Villalona signing was a step in this direction. And that's why our recent draft was so disappointing; the times have changed, and this was our opportunity to rectify the last several years of our poor drafts in one fell swoop. If you've read Roger's post about the money that MLB is awash in, you know that we could have afforded to draft actual high-ceiling players with all our early picks. The fact that we didn't, and that the ones we did choose to spend money on were 2 HS pitchers and one HS hitter, makes me think Sabean only half-understands the new paradigm.
