But he's expressing his opinion in hindsight and not questioning the actual move to bring him up. He not saying he wouldn't have brought him up. He's saying that since he struggled so much MAYBE he needed more AAA time. Maybe he was affected by the hoopla. He was questioned on why Holliday struggled. He gave the same guesses the rest of the world is giving, including Elias. His answer equates to "I don't really know but it could be this". It's not even close to "At the time, I thought they called him up too soon". -
He’s under the ball, and pulling everything. It’s either strikeouts, pop outs, or grounders to the right side. I agree it’s very tough to watch. I still say he he’ll get at least another 4-6 weeks to snap out of it before the O’s make any significant change to his role. -
My hope is that someone will be anxious to have him and will trade us something in order to jump the line.

I’ve been on this website 20 years. I can’t even count the number of times that posters wanted to relegate a long time starter to the bench, or cut him, or lower him in the lineup, or pinch hit for him in key situations, based on a few weeks of poor performance. It’s a fact: actual GM’s and managers are less reactive than fans to slumps. Doesn’t mean they’re always right or the fans are always wrong. But the professionals give their vets a pretty long time to work their way out of slumps. And it doesn’t matter who the GM or manager is.

For guys who have experience in the majors and recently, Ort and Baker have been embarrassingly bad.

He’s an owner. He has the right to an opinion but he shouldn’t express it in public. I totally disagree that Boras or M. Holliday had any bearing on decisions to promote J. Holliday. The only pressure was created by Jackson’s performance on the field.

He has a track record of being a low .700’s OPS guy. Any decline from that makes him a pretty unproductive hitter. You use “track record” and the small sample size of “the first 3 weeks of the season” in the same argument. And even during those 3 weeks, he was hitting at a low pct, striking out a lot, but squared up a couple to inflate the OPS.
