Mozeliak’s biggest weakness, IMO, is that he always seems to be selling low and buying high.
Giving away Voit and Pham so quickly after being so doggedly tied to guys like Matt Adams or Kolten Wong or Michael Wacha is just inexplicable.
Even the 11 trade of Rasmus that keyed the WS run was a sell low situation.
The best thing Mozeliak has ever done is come in second in the bidding for Pujols. Fitting.

ALWAYS.
At his absolutely best he bought low and sold low w/ the Jay/Gyorko swap. And in FA he's no better; signing Fowler the year AFTER he could've gotten him for 1/3 the price even though he'd had a nice season in Chicago. Cecil had one of the worst years of his career - no matter, long-term deal for a !@#$ing reliever. Gregerson was CLEARLY on his way out of baseball and the Astros didn't even put him on their WS roster - so what? Multi-year pact.
He's bad, man. He's really really bad at this.
