The problem with the Mellinger piece is that it presumes that this situation is the same as the Brewers when Yost was managing them, and, consequently, the lessons learned there fully apply here.

I don't know if they are, only people involved can determine what's needed. I do know this, however: When you are in a position of leadership, you should let your experience inform your decisions. But you should never make the mstake of thinking that one approach will succeed in every situation.

That's my biggest problem with Moore and Yost. They constantly come up with an isolated example that would seem to validate the approach they are taking. So, as Yost said the other day, Scott Podsednik's early career shows that Hosmer will come out of his current troubles. Gordon's career pathi is proof psitive that Mostakas will do the same. This team once went 17-10, so it will bounce back from this 5-14 stretch. Francouer was good one, so he will be again. If we would all just remain patient..

I wish they would deal with situation they have before them. Take an approach with Moustakas that fits him. Same for Hosmer, Getz, Francouer, etc. Don't give the same tired nonsense that it happened once, so it will happen again. That just makes it look as though all they are doing is hoping.
