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. -
I could do that in high school as a 17-18 year old weighing 160 lbs. honestly it was no big deal. Now benching more than 225 was tough. Of course I was a football and soccer player. -
Also, here’s their age 21 seasons: Markakis: .859 at A+, .992 at AA. Beavers: .832 at A+, .894 at AA Though Markakis clearly was a bit better, it says a lot about the relative quality of our farm system and major league team that Markakis was jumped to the majors while Beavers was returned to AA.

Where was it stated that Jackson did a 700 lb deadlift? Seems like a bad idea for him to lift so heavy in an exercise that puts such a heavy strain on your back. Calls to mind Dylan Bundy with his 80 lb dumbbells and that did not turn out well.
