Colson is one of our best hitters against LHP and is a top 8 SS in the game at 24 with one year experience. Nobody is trading him, including the WS, because you might have Roch in 2028.

Not now anyway. But I wouldn’t be mad, as long as they had a stopgap to step in. Which could have been Gonzalez

He is, and he is.

But there’s no way he’s only trusting his own opinions on pitching talent. Even if was a pitcher instead of an infielder in the majors, he would still be listening to other members of his staff on pitchers to target.

It’s not unlike the corporate world. The higher up you go, the more you delegate to other people. Of course, if s%*# hits the fan, you are also ultimately the one to blame.

Correct.... but blaming Bannister for pitching failures and not the final decision maker is also what's wrong with the corporate world.

All the credit constantly goes to the top, all the blame gets off boarded down below. It's nonsense. The pitching failures rest on Getz, and let's not forget GETZ was the one who wanted Hagen, not the phantom pitching guy behind the curtain.

Leaders lead. Followers bicker about definitions of roles.

Here's what I can tell you, through our interactions you are a clear definition of a follower. You defer to authority constantly. Give benefit of the doubt to people because of their titles or positions. You rarely have an original thought that wasn't derived through your deferral to someone else.

If I want to be lectured and ridiculed about how to lead or design successful leadership structures, you would be one of the last people I would come to.

Edit: When Getz didn't develop anyone as director of PD, you said it was the fault of the GM for not setting him up for success. When Getz doesn't develop any pitchers as the GM, you said it is the fault of the Director of Pitching for not doing his job. The hypocrisy is hilarious.
