the dumpster diving is so imbedded in AA that he has no idea how to run a team once it acquires players. the reason this team had such a s***** start is because AA had 400 scrubs in ST fighting for innings and the 25 man roster started the season not being ready to play. right up until the Philly series preseason the regulars were only playing home games. the last 3 weeks they should have been getting 4-5 AB every day getting ready to play for real. the pitchers should have been facing major league hitting and not A ball simulated s***. this team was so fricken far behind the learning curve when the season started that they will not recover this year.
that all falls on AA and his blatantly horrific obsession with trying to find s*** in other peoples trash.
