I still hate losing 8/16GT

If we changed our approach to how we develop hitters from pure power to gap to gap would it make a difference. Is that coaching or is it on the player. Could Cal & Julio be more gap to gap with a different approach?

This is what I am advocating. Joking about Hunter taking on 3 roles. He could promote his #2 in amateur scouting to Head of amateur scouting.....

As for his recent success, a Good GM would have a 6 year playoff run from 2021-26. He will be 2 of 6 if we miss again this season.

You know that's how we ended up with Z as GM, his ability to judge talent

Baker later proved he was a complete Fraud. And falsified his resume...

His winning executive of the year wasnt based on his resume, it was based on his reputation as a talent evaluator.

Z was director of scouting for the Brewers.

Zduriencik was so successful in Milwaukee that many observers felt that he deserved a large part of the credit for the Brewers' eventual return to playoff contention in 2008. Brewers general manager Doug Melvin praised Zduriencik's efforts: "No doubt about it, he deserves almost all the credit for the young players we have. The players he has drafted are making an impact at the big league level."

In recognition of his success with the Brewers, Baseball America made Zduriencik the first non-GM to receive their Major League Executive of the Year Award in 2007.
