Never fear, Hanser will be back as UTIL after they trade TA and Elvis is the everyday SS.

If KW really believes that, oh boy. But this is Bruce Levine talking so for as far as we know he imagined it.

They should sell, right as soon as Hahn is fired. But I don’t believe either is happening anytime soon.

He is a bad GM in a bad org. No need to sugar coat it. He built a talented but very flawed roster that succumb to those flaws. He failed miserably at building depth or any semblance of a minor league system that would supplement the club. He’s also burned ungodly amounts of money on crap players while failing to land any impact talent in FA outside of Hendriks. He doesn’t work in baseball again once this gig is over. He is bad, period.

‘Mired’ implies that there are outside forces in play. They aren’t mired in anything. Their mediocrity is simply a choice.

They just suck and JR doesn’t give a single f***?

TLDR they just suck?

That top farm system was completely top heavy, and they failed spectacularly building any depth or that mythical pipeline of young talent to supplement the core. They sold nearly everything for prospects and called it good enough. What they called a rebuild was the same half-assed effort we’ve known since forever.

#3 nails it. Yes Hahn put together a solid core in a short period of time, but the majority of the prospects came from other orgs. That #1 ranked system was so very top heavy. And the corner cutting started almost immediately after the rebuild was officially underway. They banked everything on that one group panning out and did little to subelement, let alone build a 2nd and 3rd wave of talent behind them.

Yuuuup

Let’s hope that move becomes permanent…

Aka punching a wall syndrome

And everything else isn’t remotely the same, which makes their troll bit so tired.

I love cherry picked stats in small sample sizes…

I’m at the burn all to the ground stage, so I really don’t care about any of these guys not named Robert. Eloy and Vaughn are first on my trade block for anything of value. Plug Burger in at 1B, DH Sheets, and let Colas learn in the bigs. If they are gonna be bad, let them at least hit some homers and be fun on some level.

Let’s be honest, what doesn’t with him?

It’s a tough choice, and maybe you just ride the hot hand for now.

No argument there. Burger has earned a spot in the everyday lineup IMO. Can we honestly say that about Benintendi, Sheets, Vaughn, or Eloy?

Burger is the DH now. I don’t care. Eloy can kick rocks.

Never fear, Rick Hahn's wonderful depth department will easily cover for his absence. Oh wait...

The window can’t be open or closed if there never was a window.

Moving Yoan back to 2B is not now nor will it ever be the right thing. Holy s%*# how is this still a thing?

Sox can’t hit and the Astros clobber every mistake. Nothing new under the sun…

We probably don’t see him again until after the extra year is secured, right or wrong.
