It doesn’t matter what his reasons were for overvaluing crappy veterans and giving them tremendous leeway and playing time at the expense of talented young players. He did it consistently.
Whatever the reason for that was, it also doesn’t change the fact Matheny was 1) the least effective manager at utilizing his bullpen; 2) abusive of his best bullpen arms to the point of overworking and ruining multiple guys
It doesn’t roll back that he was not liked by his players and had trouble connecting with them. That he had players he went months without communicating with except by text, that he was terrible with young players to the point of letting JAG vets like Bud Norris abuse young players like Hicks.
