You really want to use the LoDuca trade to bash DePo? LoDoca was a 32-yr old overrated catcher. He traded him with a good relief pitcher (who has sucked ever since) with Encarnacion (salary dump, shitty player) for Penny who was only 26 at the time and has been one of your best pitchers since then. He was smart enough to let Beltre walk. He signed Lowe, Kent, and Drew (you may be bitter for him leaving but he was excellent for you), fooled the DBacks into taking Shawn Green off their hands.
What has Colletti done to improve the team? He signed Furcal (bust), Pierre (bust), Nomar (bust), Loiaza (probably a bust), Schmidt (bust), Gonzo (bust), Little (bust), and Wolf (bust). The only good player he brought in was Saito and that was the work of the org's Asian scouting team, not his.
