  1. I love him. I strongly believe he is a great manager and will be a great one at the major league level at some point. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Spring Training, such a class act. Does anyone think he can replace Hyde? Just curious. 

  2. I honestly have no confidence that Elias would even take Green with the number 1 pick. Elias really stunk up that last draft and he’s clearly scared to take a pitcher in the first because of his two busted picks with the Astros. In fact, I don’t think he took a pitcher until pretty late last draft. Not a good long term strategy and being “Gun-shy” results in bad decision making.

    I feel like he once again misused the bullpen today.  Valdez was doing well he should have been in for another inning.  Then if the next person did well keep him in another inning and of course not use Plutko.  As soon as he came in I told my family he would give up a HR and we would be down at least a few runs and would not hit our next half inning.  

    It’s hard to evaluate Hyde but he doesn’t jump out as an elite manager but certainly not awful. You wonder if Elias wants him long term.

    Hey now, only one of the two overslot guys from last draft has had TJ.

    The guy that reminds me of Jomar Reyes has been healthy I think.

    Elias missed with 2 first round pictures in Houston and is scared to select another. Is the problem the pitching prospects or his ability to evaluate pitching? He didn’t select a pitcher in the last draft until much later, correct? That doesn’t sound like a good strategy to build a organization to me.
