Capn12 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Sure feels like a LOT of 'trying to succeed in situations on talent alone' vs 'receiving a game plan for the pitcher on the mound, in the situation you're in'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Truer words have never been spoken. Hahn has ignored defense throughout the rebuild. It was fine when it was early on - but overtime it became completely inexcusable and was really just a sign from someone who really couldn't put together the right top to bottom roster. Yes - some of these guys have talent - but you also have to optimize the entire roster and build out a complete roster - they never did it. Rick never did it. He consistently prioritized other things for reasons I won't pretend to know or just spend assinine amounts of cumulative money on role players when it could have went to difference makers.
