I think the growing concern is about how bad the position players have looked collectively. We're May 23rd now and they've combined for 0 fWAR. That doesn't necessarily mean that there are issues identifying MLB-caliber talent, but I think given the fact that none of us really know anything about Ross Atkins other than that Mark Shapiro trusts him, it's pretty reasonable that some alarm bells are being set off. Maybe everyone is just about to take off and this is all moot, but I'll be pretty concerned if we get to the halfway point of the season and the bats are still hovering at replacement level collectively.
