DM has been forthright in all his interviews about how he handles personnel matters in a collaborative manner, regardless of what his job's "powers" are. If you don't want to take his words at face value, then you are the one stepping into the world of speculation.

Prove he's being disingenuous.

Not quite sure it is the manager's fault that the players do not get enough hits to score any runs.

Whether DM is a good, average or terrible as a GM is irrelevant to the OP. Yost was fired while his team was in FIRST PLACE. That happens to ZERO managers unless they are blatantly incompetent. This has all happened before and it will happen again...
Does anyone doubt this team would be better off and entrenched with a playoff spot with Francona as the manager?

Yost is a fine coach for a team struggling to get out of the dumpster. He's a robot ... losing doesn't make him flinch. He teaches the team to not get depressed or give up.
high floor/low ceiling kind of guy imo Do we want to avoid losing or push to win? As much as we have sucked i would understand just trying to avoid losing right now. not happy, but i understand That said, Yost cost a dozen games this year ... easy. That was enough to make the playoffs this season How many games did is 'good,stable clubhouse win us?' i don't know.

Even if we say he cost us 6, that is still playoff territory.

I've always believed that Yost's greatest strength is that he built a mental toughness into the team that kept them bouncing back. That was the first hurdle to clear.
Tactically, he's below average. Bunts too early/often, leaving starters in too long. The only thing he seemed to have an eye for are hit and run opportunities. |
