A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself.

I'll have to include this link from SI that I saw where each team was given a grade for the moves they made.  Let's just say the title of the article started off with the No Balls Association.  One can assume it was a pretty harsh slant on moves the journalist personally thought they should have made.  Real nice to see another way to look at trades.
