He got Choo for Drew Stubbs and Didi Gregorius.
He got Eugenio Suarez for Alfredo Simon.
Anthony Desclafani for Mat Latos.
Mat Latos for Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal (both PED guys)

he's made a lot of very good moves.
Most people hate him for the moves he never made (because that's all on him, nothing to do with other teams) 

My beef with him is the faulty and outdated operating model.  That comes from the top.  The horrendous lack of offensive fundamentals is indeed offensive.  Nobody improves at the plate, nobody ever learns how to bun, hit behind runners.  They just give away at bats and if they aren't hitting homers, they aren't scoring.  Other than Votto, every guy on the team has a giant hole in his swing that never gets fixed.

The reasons they weren't winning three years ago are the same exact reasons now.

They do well defensively but, just like any sport that keeps score--you don't score, you don't win.

The entire organization needs a new model and Jokerty is either too stubborn or just too clueless on how to ever do it.  Even if you catch up in the talent department, it still won't get you there if you're operating out of the previous century.
