He's not the worst, and there's no way I could have made it sound that way since I specifically said it could be worse. Yeah, awful ownership that gave him a top 10 payroll. They are the real problem.
You say "if AA did this or that" but I think we're past the point of hoping he'll change. No team since he's taken over has had any kind of reasonable depth. Every single year we piss away at bats on guys like Pillar, Navarro, Vizquel, DeRosa, Thames, Goins, Tolleson, etc.
So because we have injury prone guys and no depth, this team isn't going anywhere IMO.
