Exactly... whatever our process for pitching development is needs to be completely overhauled. It's pathetic to have such little pitching success in Shatkins 6/7 years on the job.
When people have to say that about every bullpen guy, it's time to start looking at the people responsible for putting this steaming pile of crap together...
Somehow Pete Walker has this magic aura of turning s*** into gold and yet our history of developing our own pitchers is pathetic... something doesn't add up lol
It's ridiculous. Playing 1B is as close to DHing as it gets. If vladdy needs these many days off 1B at his age then what does that say about him longterm.
Maybe they should bench Vladdy 50% of the time and if he starts playing better, it's clearly a workload issue. Has nothing to do with it just being a slow start like it was for majority of our other guys.
