I think the real accurate part of that is the bullpen stuff. Dayton has done a horrendous job of signing bullpen pieces the last couple years and that's the biggest reason this team has struggled. Honestly since the World Series he hasn't had the luck with relievers he had before.
The stuff with Phillips and Starling doesn't bother me as much. But I concede that my opinion is way different than most people. Sometimes it's a good thing to let a guy have some sustained success, especially when it's someone like Starling who never has before. It has not hurt the process at all because Starling spent an extra month at AAA. It's honestly just whining because people were sick of watching Hamilton. So now we're seeing it with Phillips even though he's going to have to fight for playing time, especially when Mondesi comes back. If we wait to bring him in September it's not going hurt anything. I'd rather he be getting every day ABs than sharing a platoon with Dozier, Cuthbert, O'Hearn and Whit.
