That's the problem with Mozeliak - it's ALWAYS been his problem.
Nothing is part of a coordinated plan/scheme.
Season starts, he gets his budget, he goes out and offers money and signs the first people that say yes. He doesn't build a team - he just spends his assets.
This trade deadline he decided he was willing to trade his pending UFAs so that's what he's going to do. In the process, he's made a move here that would allow him to move an Edman or Donovan to get that 'big league pitching with control' that he's been begging everyone else to just give him for buckets of shit. But that would demonstrate a coordinated plan; a move designed to set up a move.
He simply doesn't do that. He's a little kid in a candy shop and he has a bag of nickels. So he's going to take out one nickel - buy a thing. Take out another nickel - buy another thing. The idea of using those nickels in concert with each other is just completely foreign to him.
And that's why he's always a move (or two) short.
He's simply not a good strategic thinker. And he's an awful leader. He's a button pusher and that's it.
He's over his head and it's more apparent every day.
