The outfield 'logjam' should've been the first sign to anyone paying attention that this team has a fundamental problem.
They don't know who's actually good at baseball.
It's a pretty significant problem to have.
It's why they get trades wrong. It's why they pick the wrong guys to send out and the wrong guys to bring in. It's why they put their hopes on the wrong guys and bury dudes they shouldn't bury.
And it's been happening for over a decade.
They can't even internally scout for shit. When you don't even know who among your OWN players is worth a shit, how can you possibly know who's going to be good out of the draft? Or who you should pursue over a 31 organization player pool outside of your own rosters?
Every single thing comes down to the fact that they simply cannot identify talent. And even if they have it RIGHT with Saggese, it begs the question -- why was he your return? And again, even if they have it right, sending him down when he's hitting like this demonstrates that they don't actually have any idea if they do or not.
They're just guessing. It's so damn obvious.
