They need to be replaced as well, but the whole spotlight belongs on JD today. This is 100% his mess.
I can see a one man show thinking this but if you have to work within a large corporation it is not how it works...

You might need to broaden your viewpoints taken in.
Good listen on 105.3.

100% his mess hyperbole. Btw they are talking about draft and development. Yes definite problems and hope major changes made

You guys want to tank and I get this...I really don't think ownership from a marketing standpoint want this. It is what it is

What do the owners want to market. Keeping Gallo and Lynn and lowering the budget will continue to lose badly and they can't market. that.

JD is not getting interference from the owners with trades where we are sellers and drafting and development.

This fiasco today was all his mess.

I can understand blaming the owners for a lack of free agents, but anyone arguing that today's mess is on ownership is simply hiding their head in the sand so as not to have to think poorly about Daniels.


I blame him for this past offseason as well even though I can understand an opposing viewpoint.

No one mentioned tanking. You neber accused anyone of wanting that prior to the deadline. You knew what we all wanted and yet you never called it that. Now, all of a sudden, what everyone wanted to do was tanking. Lol. You are simply trying to take up for Daniels like you always do.

They listened to offers from teams for both Lynn and Gallo. Why didn't you say the organization was preparing to tank when you heard that? Because, had they traded both of them you would have sung their praises.

Come on man, put down the pom poms.

They didn't feel they had to keep Lynn at all. He is just making excuses.

Seems like in one of our boards in the last few weeks I said that they will come up with something to get Choo (it was either him or Odor) out of the lineup by saying he will be put on the DL. But instead it was Odor. We have a knack for when I guy is doing badly we use the DL. Works for me. Hope to see plenty of Tejada.

They would have never entertained offers were they not willing. Just like they would have never started negotiating with Rendon had they not wanted that.

The owners need to go as well. Make no mistake about it. Their biggest flaw is keeping JD around. They ate too cheap and they have made a terrible choice in keeping JD.

Odor dug himself a hole so deep that no one would ever want him.We waited to long to control him and in return he controls JD. This mess with Odor is all on JD. Nothing can be done with him except buy him out.

Overall I disagree. JD answers to the owners and runs the team as instructed. Their biggest flaw is being involved in personnel decisions.

Whoever is calling the shots and has the final word proved today that they are no longer up to the task. JD, ownership, whoever... today was an utter failure.

You're right to the extent that JD can't hire what owners won't pay for. But JD should be the one to make recommendations.

I was in hopes that if we could not trade lynn, at least try and bring in the best bats available b/c at some point it has to be done.
