The perfect scapegoats if things go wrong for Buster Posey
Getting the band back together. Now go get Bochy back!
I don’t know how to grade their executive free agent acquisitions right now. Maybe if they trade a couple low minors Analytics prospects for a Dombrowski or Anthopoulos, I’ll feel better about the offseason.
While I understand the pessimism about this, I think it’s important to understand that in any leadership structure, you find that certain people, while we shouldn’t trust them to run the entire operation, they excel in one or two specific areas.
Evans was awful as a GM, but he still had certain skills that got him in the door. It was obvious over a half-decade ago that Evans was out of his depth in that role, but I do wonder if maybe he can help Buster navigate certain areas that he excelled in early on.
I’m by no means inspired by this, but I also think it’s a lot less consequential than many are pretending it is.
The strategy of continuing to hire people that not a single other team in baseball wants to hire sure is an interesting one.
Cant be rejected if you are their only option.
I still can’t believe they actually brought Braindead Bobby back into the organization
