Don't want to stick up for the mess JR created but we all knew this team would be a mess and the best bets for surprise seasons usually come from the pitching be it a break out younger pitcher or a rebounding dumpster dive.
Getz knew what he was getting, a bunch of projects and some decent defensive players who couldn't hit.
There's a difference between what you do and what you are able to do.
Maybe I could've kept this post shorter by just saying JR 10 times.
