If an entire team is made up of home-grown players, with most of them being high school draftees or international signings, and they can't handle pressure, that isn't just about the players.
That's another strike against the development process that's in place.
There's an air of satisfaction with mediocrity, a participation medal feel, around this front office (that's what happens when you're two games under .500, wildly inconsistent and up-and-down, atrocious in one of the big areas of the game, and let it leak that you don't understand why you're not selling out every night).
That filters down to everybody. You just don't get a feel that there's a demand for excellence.
The stuff about BA and best farm system is just terribly damning. That goes to player development in the minors and at the major league level, too.
