Given that Dubon is gone, Thames will be seeing a lot more L/L matchups with Aguilar gone, and Pomeranz has miserable numbers in a pitcher friendly park this year and Ray Black was deemed not good enough to make the 25 man roster over the recently DFAed Jay Jackson, I think one could make a pretty reasonable argument that Stearns managed to make both the MLB team and farm system worse on deadline day, not an easy task to pull off.
