Not a shocker.
I really think using injuries and guys having bad years "at the same time" is a lame excuse. Crisp has a history of injuries, Gordon has not proven to be a good draft pick, and Guillen was a bad signing. Does that point to Hillman? No, but it points to Moore.
The bullpen guys are all having bad years. Does that point to Hillman? No, but it points to Moore.
This offense sucks. Does that point to Hillman? No, but it points to Moore.
The starting pitching has been pushed too thin. Does that point to Hillman? No, but it points to Moore, by his own admission.
So it's a broken record. Moore is going to be back, fine, we have no choice in the matter, that's Glass' call. He better figure out how to get productive draft picks in here and how to sign better free agents, otherwise this team is going nowhere.
Also the fact that guys in the organization do not know how to do simple fundamentals is not necessarily a Hillman issue, because it has been going on for years here. But to me, that indicates an organizational issue. IE are these guys getting good instruction at the minor league level? I have my doubts.
Moore has proven thus far that he is in over his head by his moves. He talks a good game, and like it or not, he's got a few more years to try and see his "plan" through, but I lack confidence in his ability to get this team there based on what I have seen. I think Glass is making a mistake keeping him...
