Hinch has not had a good start. But this is entirely about Avila's failure to develop everyday players outside of the tanking draft picks. They don't have any guys to fill in gaps when injuries come up.
They revamped the entire development staff only last year and Avila's role is more ceremonial right now. Things have to be happening behind the scenes when you are tanking so you are ready to succeed when all the kids are ready. They did nothing. We are still playing the Castros, Vic Reyes, etc.
