Unfortunately we have a GM who doesn't believe in accountability either from his players or himself. That's why he gives players long leashes, and why he gives himself an even longer one ("It can take 10 years"). If the GM is never to blame, the players begin to think they're blameless too.

Rewind! I wrote this May 20 after Chisenhall was demoted. Chisenhall was sent down hitting 20-94 (.212) with a 3-22 BB-K rate and a ~600 OPS. Since his recall, he's gone 20-71 (.282) with a 5-11 bb-K rate and ~800 OPS.
But Dayton said he couldn't send down Moose because "there's no substitute for facing major league pitching". Right? Isn't that right Dayton?
