I don't get what is so hard about admitting Kenny, Hahn and co. did a brutal job in the early tens and have since turned it around significantly, to the point they probably have the best long term (or second best) outlook in all of baseball.
Plenty of teams have traded guys of similar caliber and got diddly squat in return.
Getting Eloy for Quintana in itself is a huge display of scouting and patience.
