Buster Posey will give Bob Melvin autonomy when it comes to the lineup

“No I won’t,” Posey said when asked if he will be providing Melvin lineups. “Bob’s been doing this for 30 years. It’ll be something we discuss. Bob and I have talked about this already. He wants to have dialogue around it, but ultimately he’s standing in the dugout and he’s getting a read on his players better than I can have not being around them all the time.”
Posey believes Melvin serves an important role as the Giants’ leader, and deserves to have complete control over the decisions that impact the team’s performance on the field.
“But ultimately, I do want to leave it to him,” Posey added. “Again, I just think it’s important for him to have that autonomy and for the guys on the field to know that hey, this is the guy that’s leading the charge for us, and we’re going out there to battle for him, and he’s got our back through all of this.”
Thank God
Its insane to me that Farhan meddled so directly with the lineup. How can you accurately judge a coaches performance if he isn’t the one making the most important decisions?
The good news about the org is the only thing keeping me going these days.
It’s like an antidote to everything else.
Good, one thing I hated about Farhan was him trying to manage from the executive suite.
Do we think hitting Slater leading off for 2 months while batting under .100 was Melvin or Farhan?
We will be one of the few teams in the league that the manager will have autonomy. Most of the league does not operate this way and lineups are a collaborative process.
Eno Sarris made a point that Melvin’s staff got rid of the Kapler methods which were very innovative and now a common place in the league. The coaching staff is being reduced as well as the front office.

I don’t know how to feel about all of this.
