Even if you want to handwave away all of the Getz failures at the major league level, which was pretty much every single move he made, I am not sure what else we are missing. I keep seeing Bannister held up as our savior, but if you look at the results as a whole, they aren't even that impressive. Schultz had a big year, in super limited innings. Getting Hagen Smith into the system should be a huge shot in the arm. Past that? We couldn't call up a single pitcher to the major leagues in either the bullpen or starting rotation the entire season who was ready to go. Look at the rest of the top pitchers from last year. Nastrini bombed. Thorpe was up and down, and then hurt. Taylor had a great short sample, and then another major injury. Eder bombed. Pallette fell of the rotation and made noise as a reliever. Vera bombed, and was released. Bush got a call up, but not much to show. Don't even get me started on the relievers who were a disaster.
The hitting was a massive failure this year. I don't even need to waste time on it.
Even as a whole our system trails most everyone in the division, who we are already trailing by at least 40 games.
