Dave Dombrowski rebuilt a farm system that was destroyed by years of neglect and incompetence under Smith and his predecessors. He's made many more good trades than bad, and he brought a solid player draft and development strategy when there was none under the previous regimes. And he had the good sense to show Smith and Garner the door. As for Gonzalez, thank the deity of your choice that he was too stupid to take advantage of Smith's monumental idiocy.
