I spent the weekend in Memphis at the music festival for a bachelor party and returned late last night. Not hiding. Busy.
I didn't see any of the weekend games and only caught the tail end of the game last night. Tuned in just about in time to see Gyorko take Holland deep.
I did think this team was capable of winning 91-92 games, because I expected at least a league average offense with the additions of Aoki and Infante. Those two have been about what I expected.
I did not expect Butler and Gordon to be WORSE than they were last year, even in this small a sample size. Sal Perez also has not produced as well, again in a small sample size.
Pair a league average offense with this starting pitching and defense, and you're talking about a team that's on track with what I expected.
There's time left, but they must turn it around quickly.
The stuff about this management group that leaked over the weekend, I have no comment about that other than to say Craig Brown perfectly encapsulated my thoughts on the matter.
Dayton Moore and co. seem to have not adjusted to the internet age and the fact that hardcore fans have access to so much more data and analysis than in the "good old days."
But that shouldn't surprise me. Moore and his people have not adjusted to the modern game, post-strike, in any arena. No way they're going to be on the ball about this.
