he has to fix his marital problems first...then probably a stint at Lakeland to start throwing, then a few real rehab stars. Once he is available, it should take 3 weeks minimum to get back.
The ability to assess the talent on your own roster is part of the general manager's job. If you waste playing time on guys you traded for, that's a problem.
Rony Garcia is the only starter who has pitched into the sixth inning since last Saturday. He has done it twice. That’s going to take a toll on the bullpen.
Right around the time everyone wanted Victor Reyes to play, he became Victor Reyes.
12/43, 0BB, 10 K, .279 OBP, 279 slug. No walks no XBH since returning from the IL lol.
I don't feel the same way about Hinch like I did a year ago. He has a lot of control here...both with the roster and the direction of the organization. But it's not his fault that we drafted Rey Rivera and Nick Quintana. That's on Al and 7 dwarfs. But he is now responsible for the major league product and it stinks out loud.
He can opt-out if he wants and he can leave...I don't care any longer about protecting him from Avila. He is in it now. Avila has already ceded a lot of power to the analytic wonder twins. The player development staff has been overhauled. If Hinch is in this for the long haul and has some solutions to our fundamental organizational problems, start fixing it. Avila has been emasculated. He is not an obstacle to fixing this team.
