Beane completely changed the playoff situation as he made his team (spelled "three man rotation in the playoffs") complete. Well, he could use a bopping DH, but he has Blanks soon to return and a very flexable lineup.
In '09, the M's finished 10 games out of the WC and 12 games behind the Angels. That's the closest that Z has come to sniffing the post-season as a GM.
Getting Cano was very worthy of my respect. He changed the M's story with that one. That trade was expected to put us in a place to compete. OK, it worked. We're in that place. Now what?
Samardzija, Gray and Kazmir and pray for rain.
Ackley, Endy and Hart and pray for a trade.
I detect a huge difference.*

*Without minimizing the huevos it took to pull the Cano trigger.
