But he got Bubba Chandler by wasting a 1.1 pick on Henry Davis!!! (Nevermind the other 2 picks he overspent on that look like busts)
Creating niche metrics that show this team he created has just been “unlucky” for 5 years so he can keep job.
Most of them arent even in our organization anymore either
I’ve heard he is a fairly decent parallel parker.
C’mon let’s throw the glasnow and Cole trades in there too since they still kicking around the league.
He’s my first pick for selecting someone to destroy a baseball team.
The issue with this is that all those guys were going to leave
So that’s better than a list of (nobody)
The real issue is: we get talent then don’t pay them and are forced to sell them off for peanuts as their contracts expire, and are constantly trying to fill voids of talent
Let’s say we get a lot of good prospects and Cruz turns into a super star.
By the time those prospects are ready to win in the MLB, Cruz is going to be leaving because we can’t afford him.
So you’re nonstop trying to fill that hole because of a lack of money
He got Head. So there’s that.
Pushing the mathematical limits of how many unique batting orders he can assemble?
Apart from everything else he has done and done badly, this alone should have been enough to fire him with cause.
In fairness, he has made a handful of astute junkheap pickups and lower key free agent signings (Heaney and a couple of bullpen arms, Bart, etc) since laying waste to the team he inherited, and I still think Horwitz was a good pickup if he can recover from the surgery—though with wrist injuries, that is always an iffy thing.
But the fact is he is now trying desperately to salvage his own rebuild. Sorry, it’s too little, too late.

Pissing fans off, he’s pretty good at that
He’s great at losing

Drafting prep pitchers (jones, chandler, Kennedy, meuth)
Finding veteran left handed starting pitching for cheap. That’s it.
Phenomenal handjobs, just ask Nutting.
Kissing nuttings ass
If he had done massive changes to the minor league development system, many of those would probably be in Pittsburgh right now.
Pretty damning. What are his good trades?
Does he at least give credit to the person originally making this point?
