I dont see why they wouldnt. Every indication has been that they really believe in both Drury and McKinney.
In any case the honeymoon is coming to an end. Starting in 2020 its time to put up.
Part of it is simply you develop less if nothing but pieces of s*** around you. The rest of the team is garbage, so there isn't much push for Vlad to do better.
Look at the hitters hitting before and after him. Tellez and Grichuk. Both would appears as two of the worst hitters in the majors for plate appearances above 200
Other reasoning maybe expectations management. Perhaps the goal is to lose as many games as possible this year, so that the 15 or 20 games improvement is a lower benchmark.
So that's better than finding out what you have? Let me ask you soemtjjnb? What are you finding about Drury after he has been one of the worst hitters in baseball over almost 700 plate appearances now
I guess the better question is, why does the organization have such a relentless belief in the likes of Drury, Mckinney, Fisher. Do you know why. Its called arrogance and the unwillingness to accept when you are wrong.
Infact using a minimum plate appearance of 400
Drury has been the 6th worst hitter in all of baseball
Grichuk has been the 9th worst hitter in all of baseball
I guess long term deal of 5/50 coming for Drury.
